RemoveDeletedDevicesFromConfigMgr2012SP1_v0_2.ps1

Current version: v0.2, release date 04/25/2013

The script checks every device that is available in the All Systems collection if it is still available in Active Directory and it will delete devices that comply to the following rules:

• The device is available in ConfigMgr but not in Active Directory
• The device is not a member of a Workgroup
• The device is not a mobile device
• The device is not manually imported for Operating System Deployment

Before you are able to use the script you need to configure some variables, you can find these just beneath the comments in the header of the script;

• $sitecode = “<sitecode>:”
• $sitecode = “PS1:”
• $installdrive = “<ConfigMgr Admin Console installation>”
• $installdrive = “C:”
• $loglocation = “<loglocation>”
• $loglocation = “D:\Logfiles\”
• $localdomain = “<domainname>”
• $localdomain = “ConfigMgrLab”
• $maxdevices = <maximum number of devices in your ConfigMgr environment>
• $maxdevices = 2000

Prerequisites to use this script are:

• Powershell 3.0 (x86)
• System Center 2012 Configuration Manager 2012 SP1
• Active Directory Module for Windows PowerShell

The script RemoveDeletedDevicesFromConfigMgr2012SP1.ps1 uses the cmdlet Get-CMDevices to retrieve the information about the devices from Configuration Manager. After checking if the device is available in Active Directory, part of a workgroup, part of an other domain or mobile device the Remove-CMDevices cmdlet will be used to remove the device from Configuration Manager. Together with the log function of fellow Configuration Manager MVP Kaido Järvemets (http://www.cm12sdk.net) this script will log also if a devices is deleted or why a device is preserved. The script will check the device in Configuration Manager and report back which device does not have an account in the Active Directory you configured.

New in v0.2:

• Ability to set the Maximum Query Result Size of ConfigMgr 2012 SP1, by default this is 1000 items

• Fixed little bug while searching in AD for objects give back a number higher than 1. (more AD objects with the same name)

“Microsoft System Center 2012 Configuration Manager can help you maintain corporate compliance and control while empowering employees to use the devices and applications they need to be productive.
 
Configuration Manager provides key management capabilities around application delivery, desktop virtualization, device management, and security that make it possible to enable productivity amidst device proliferation – while also reducing costs.
 
Discover Configuration Manager
 
Application Delivery
 
In the 2012 release, Configuration Manager takes a new “user-centric” approach to application delivery. You can establish policies and relationship rules that allow Configuration Manager to evaluate user identity, application dependencies, device type, and network connection in order to deliver the optimum application experience to users from whatever device or devices they happen to be using.
 
Desktop Virtualization
 
Configuration Manager is key component of Microsoft Desktop Virtualization solutions. It provides asset, usage, and desired configuration management for personal and virtual desktops on a single infrastructure. It also integrates with Microsoft Application Virtualization (App-V) to deploy and manage virtual and physical applications, allowing you to easily scale application deployment throughout the enterprise as fully streamed virtual applications, locally delivered packages, or both.
 
Device Management
 
Configuration Manager provides baseline management for all Exchange Active Synch (EAS) aware devices, helping your organization inventory, remote wipe, or enforce PIN codes from the same unified management infrastructure that you are using for your physical and virtual client management.
 
Security
 
Configuration Manager serves as the management infrastructure for System Center 2012 Endpoint Protection. By aligning the client compliance and remediation capabilities of Configuration Manager with the antimalware and vulnerability protection features of Endpoint Protection, you can manage and protect your entire client infrastructure in a single solution. This consolidation can help you lower infrastructure costs and improve insight into the health and safety of your entire client environment.”
