Thanks very much Paul. Will look into getting this done in our VDI.

You will need to perform 4 actions when creating your master image. The 4th action is to stop bad mifs being created by the VDI's (more on that here https://sccmentor.wordpress.com/2014/04/08/dealing-with-bad-mif-files-in-a-vdi-environment/). 1. Stop the SMS Host Service – to do this run the command net stop ccmexec as an administrator 2. Delete the SMSCFG.ini file from the Windows folder – to do this run the command del %WINDIR%\smscfg.ini 3. Delete the SMS certificates – to do this run the following line in PowerShell – Remove-Item -Path HKLM:\Software\Microsoft\SystemCertificates\SMS\Certificates\* -Force or from DOS using powershell -command "Remove-Item -Path HKLM:\Software\Microsoft\SystemCertificates\SMS\Certificates\* -Force" 4. Remove the Inventory Action ID 1 in WMI – to do this run the command wmic /namespace:\\root\ccm\invagt path inventoryActionStatus where InventoryActionID=”{00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000001}” DELETE /NOINTERACTIVE On Fri, Oct 16, 2015 at 11:39 AM, Mawdsley R. <[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>> wrote: No. I assume it should be?

Are they non-persistent? How's the client configured in the master image?

It’s no big issue, but it throws reports out in terms of inactive machines. We delete inactive machines every 60 days using they built in methods. Is there any way to set a separate rule up that says if these machines have been inactive for more than a day, to delete them? I currently manually delete them every couple weeks.
