After a little bit of trial and error when writing a query I have found that if I query the vAllComputerInfo table I have computers that are in a non-active status that show IsManaged=1. The IsManaged=1 is on computers that have a custom status (Write-Off, Missing and others) and also for out of the box statuses (Sold, Retired and others). I also show IsManaged=0 for the same statuses on other computers. We have the rule "Inventory Cleanup" run once a day.
When a computer is in the "IsManaged=1" state is that computer taking up an Altiris license, will that computer still count in Patch Management? If IsManaged does not get flipped to zero what else gets reclaimed from an Altiris perspective? I would like to know why the computers do not go to an unmanaged state and how this affects pieces of Altiris, we use Patch Management, Asset Management including Software licensing,workstation Inventory and pushing software. Does anyone have information on this?
