Issue
Environment has 1000's of quarantined computers which are all decommissioned/offline. In the Snow Management and Configuration Center you can set the quarantine_delete_action to Delete enabled but upon doing this the computers are not automatically being deleted.
Environment
- Snow Inventory Agent for Windows - 5.0.2
- Snow License Manager - 8.1
Analysis
In the environment we configured the quarantine rules in the following way via Basic Settings in the Snow Management and Configuration Center:
- Quarantine at 30 days
- Delete at 120 days.
Majority of the quarantined computers are way passed the threshold.
- Quarantine at 30 days
- Delete at 120 days.
Majority of the quarantined computers are way passed the threshold.
Resolution
Then the process will be to deleted devices that were outside the quarantine threshold of 90 days, Once done the delete all devices in that status from the Snow License Manager Web Page.
Cause
Reviewing the behavior it seems to be rooted in a failed upgrade from Inventory Server 3 to 5.
