I did write a PowerShell script that will pars the machine name out of the bad 
mif file, then send said machine a full hardware inventory command, and keep a 
log file of the machine name.  I then created a second script that will count 
the number of times a machine shows up in the log file.  It is showing a few 
machines that have produced multiple bad mif files.  I guess it's time to 
remove and re-install the client on those machines.

Thanks,

Subject: [mssms] BADMIFS - dataldr.box
I have a question about BADMIFS in the dataldr.box folder.  I have been 
monitoring this for a few days now and have 154 bad mifs since 08-05-13.  Most 
of them (111) are in the NonExistentRow folder.  What is the best way to deal 
with these bad mifs?  Would a good starting point be to force a full hardware 
inventory on the offending machines?  I'm looking into the inventoryagent.log 
files now, but not seeing anything that stands out.
