# removeduplicate.ps1 — Remove Duplicate Devices Delete duplicate computer objects left on an **old Core** after migrating to a **new Core**. The script connects to both Cores via the legacy SOAP endpoint (`MBSDKService/MsgSDK.asmx`), compares by `DeviceName`, and deletes the matching device from the old Core (skips names starting with `newcore`, and ignores `GUID = "Unassigned"`). ## Requirements - An account with rights to list devices and delete computers. - Windows PowerShell 5.1. ## Configure Edit the two endpoints in the script: ```powershell $ldWSold = New-WebServiceProxy -Uri http://oldcore.example.com/MBSDKService/MsgSDK.asmx -Credential $mycreds $ldWSNew = New-WebServiceProxy -Uri https://newcore.example.com/MBSDKService/MsgSDK.asmx -Credential $mycreds ``` ## Run Edit the two endpoints in the script: ```powershell powershell.exe -NoProfile -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -File .\removeduplicate.ps1 ```
