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:
$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.exe -NoProfile -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -File .\removeduplicate.ps1
