  • Check whether the maintenance tasks (MT) are configured correctly and it's running successfully or not.

    See, Deletes aged client discovery data task is enabled or not ?

  • enable maintanance task said by anoop and check the log files smsdbmon.log to monitor the activity else

    you can create collection for computers do not report(inventory or heartbeat or other agents) to site server  and delete them at one go.

    right click on computer-->propoerties and look for agent name and time when they reported to site server

  • do as suggested in the other answers to enable a process. In order to get rid om them now, I suggest you create collection of computers you haven't heard from in x number of days, and use delete special to get rid of all the objects. below query will return all objects that haven't reported any hw inventory for a month.

    Servers that haven’t scanned for hw inventory in 7 days or more:
    select * from SMS_R_System inner join SMS_G_System_WORKSTATION_STATUS on SMS_G_System_WORKSTATION_STATUS.ResourceId = SMS_R_System.ResourceId where SMS_R_System.OperatingSystemNameandVersion like "%server%" and (DateDiff(day, SMS_G_System_WORKSTATION_STATUS.LastHardwareScan, GetDate()) >=30)
