Purpose:
You would like to clean up PDQ Inventory so that it mirrors a fresh install without needing to uninstall/reinstall PDQ Inventory.
Background:
Some reasons you might want to do this:
- You have a lot of clutter (collections and reports) you no longer need or use.
- Your environment has changed considerably (new domain, additional domains, naming schema change) and need a clean console to capture the changes while discarding old data.
- You inherited the console from a coworker or previous employee and want to start over with a clean product.
Resolution:
1. Close the PDQ Inventory console if it's running. Then, stop the Background Service. To do this, from an elevated PowerShell Window, run
Stop-Service PDQInventory
2. Go to %PROGRAMDATA%\Admin Arsenal\. Delete the PDQ Inventory directory.
IMPORTANT: The PDQ Service (that was stopped in the Step 1 above) cannot be running.
3. Once the PDQ Inventory directory is deleted, reopen the program. You will need to perform the configuration process again (adding credentials, computers, etc.)
