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.

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.
