I am new to PowerShell and I used these scripts to learn PowerShell so keep that in mind as you review and use these. All I ask is that you review them and let me know if there is anything that should be changed. The first script that I run is the Count_Bad_Inventory_Files.ps1 I follow that with ProcessSMS_InBox_HardwareInv.ps1. I usually keep a running log file so I can see if I get any machines with repeatedly bad mif files. I then run the Repeat_Bad_Hareware_Inventory.ps1 script to process the log file. The forth script I run stand-alone (not is sequence with the above scripts) just to see what machines are generating bad mif files.

I created a PowerShell script to walk through the bad mif folders and send a full inventory command to the offending 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.
