Hi there,
I've inherited a Endpoint Protection server running 11.x on Win2K3 in an environment that has approximatley 200-250 clients (mixture of workstations and servers). As far as I can make out, it's been unloved/poorly maintained and there are almost 600 computer accounts in the system and of course almost half of those don't exist any more. I've discovered the option to delete clients that have not connected 'x' days under Admin > Servers > Local Site > Edit Site Properties.
I'm keen to enable this and clean out all the old/non-existant/retired computers in the system, but wanted to know what would happen if, say, a laptop that was locked in someone's cupboard for months was re-connected to the network. Would it check back into the server OK, if it's account had been deleted?
Is there anything else I should consider?
Any advice is welcome.
Thanks
Olly
