Hi Andrew, Good news is yes, this is possible in Snow. The Snow API is read-only so you will not be able to use it to change data in Snow. But if you set the " Disable auto-editing " flag on those computers, they will not be put in quarantine. The issue is that after you have set the flag manually once, the computers apparently struggle to ba automatically managed by the auto-quarantine management ... so you might end up with a few computers that eventually stay as active forever. The " Disable auto-editing " flag can be set programatically. It is found in the table called tblComputerInfo To circumvent the issue with auto-quarantine management, we have a custom check pass on all our computers and trigger the stock deletion routine on the ones that have passed the deletion threshold. The following code can handle that: DECLARE Client_Cursor CURSOR FOR SELECT DISTINCT ci.CID, ci.ComputerID FROM tblComputerInfo WHERE xxxxxxxxxx -- (your custom filter) OPEN Client_Cursor FETCH NEXT FROM Client_Cursor INTO @ComputerID WHILE (@@FETCH_STATUS = 0) BEGIN EXEC ComputerDelete @cidvalue, @ComputerID, 'Automatic deletion of old computers' FETCH NEXT FROM Client_Cursor INTO @ComputerID END CLOSE Client_Cursor DEALLOCATE Client_Cursor
