How to remove multiple identified computers from direct membership collection..

I have been askedd to remove a list of computers provided in a text file from a direct membership collection, normally this would be easy and I would use Collection Injector as it is a great solution which is pretty much foolproof, however for some reason
that is totally beyond me and who knows why, I have been told to see if there is a script to perform the same functionality, but why reinvent the wheel.....go figure
so in essence, does anyone know of a script to accomplish this????I can find them for a single computer but not for a list based solution, any help greatly appreciated
regards
many thanks

Also, if you are looking to remove a llist of machines from a collection. Why don't you try writing a query?
some like...
select SMS_R_SYSTEM.ResourceID,SMS_R_SYSTEM.ResourceType,SMS_R_SYSTEM.Name,SMS_R_SYSTEM.SMSUniqueIdentifier,SMS_R_SYSTEM.ResourceDomainORWorkgroup,SMS_R_SYSTEM.Client from SMS_R_System whereSMS_R_System.NetbiosName not in ("null")
here put the list of computers in the not in list..

Maybe because you can't remove computers from a collection with a select statement? You could do it in SQL but that would be VERY unsupported.

  • How to remove multiple iphoto images from imovie timeline?

    When I import still photos into imovie  from iphoto, and drop them on the timeline in imovie,  instead of a single picture appearing I get multiple copies of the same photo.  Can anyone suggest a cure or workaround?

    If you are draggin straight out of iPhoto into the iMovie window, I don't know what kind of reaction you will get out of iMovie. If you use the Photo Browser tool in the iMovie Toolbar, it should let you do multiple selections and still drag them to the timeline (hold down ⌘ Command key and select individually or hold down Shift and select a range).

  • How to remove MULTIPLE sidebar items from finder?

    I accidentally dragged about 1,000 folders into my finder sidbar. Crap. I'd really like to get rid of them quickly and not have to drag them out one at a time. Any ideas? I tried trashing the com.apple.sidebarlists.plist but it didn't do the trick.

    Thanks Tony. This helped me figure out the problem!
    I have Path Finder installed and it turns out that the Path Finder plist was also storing the sidebar items. If I just trashed the finder and sidebar plists, the Path Finder plist would automatically repopulate the items. Trashing all three plists at the same time with Path Finder closed then relaunching Finder solved the issue!
    Thanks again, that was a clever trick.

  • How to remove multiple copies of plug ins in CS3 AE

    Does anyone know how to remove multiple copies of certain plug ins from Adobe After Effect CS3 ?
    I have Adobe Premier Pro CS3 instaled on same hard drive as AE CS3 , when i start my Adobe AE CS3, then when its loading, a warning message comes and says " you have mulitple copies of these plug ins , you must remove the multiple copies, else it might not function properly "
    Thanks in Advanced !

    Ok, thanks buddy
    well, here is the situation
    I use Windows XP
    AE CS3  as well as premier Cs3
    right at this point of time, i am upgrading the motherBD of my PC so i couldn't be more specific..once i installed the new BDs then i can give you more details..
    all right, I have installed the trapcode and New Blue effect for both Premier and AE, the dublicate plug in is from New Blue , i guess its called "Essentials"
    so, i went inside AE plug ins folder and located the "Essentials" plug in and removed the folder "Essentials" which contains the names of plug ins which i received them at the begining of the program.
    but when i restart the AE , i don't get and error or warning signs anymore BUT when i try to look for the Essentials effect, where all the other effects are, i no longer see the plug in there, just like it was never installed to begin with...
    when i  goto Program Files>>Adobe>>Commen Files>> plug ins
    then  i see the Essentials plug ins there,
    so basically i see the Essentials plug ins in 2 different locations.

    How I remove my credit card from my Apps Store Account??
    I want to avoid unwanted purcharses from my nephew.... Someone can help me?
    I know it's possible to "upgrade" one account adding credit card, I can not find a way to remove it.

    you can't from the iPad.
    Go to iTunes on a computer, log in with your apple ID and select 'account'.
    After that , select 'payment method' and select 'none'.
    Good luck
    PS: reply if you're having trouble. You use mac or windows?

  • How to remove credit card details from iPad 4. So I can download free apps from apps store??

    Please someone tell me how to remove credit card details from iPad 4, so I download free apps from App Store??

    None for payment
    After establishing the Credit Card account, you can remove the credit card information by editing your payment info, choosing "None".
    Note: You won't find "None" if you have not purchase anything with the Credit Card.

  • How to remove the credit card from the Apple id?

    how to remove the credit card from the Apple id?
    plz ITS urgently

    If the option to select "None" isn't appearing when you attempt to edit your payment information, then there is likely a billing issue with your last iTunes Store purchase(iTunes didn't receive payment from your credit card company for that order). Before you can remove your credit card, you have to pay for the unpaid order. You can call your credit card company and troubleshoot the billing issue with them, or try another card, or if you live in a country that supports iTunes Gift Cards, you can redeem one of those to pay for the order. Once you have done that, you should be able to remove your credit card info as outlined in http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1918

  • How to remove my credit card from the App Store

    How to remove my credit card from the App Store

    I used a pre-loaded credit card so when it ran out i had problems, primarily because it wont let me download or update anything until the "billing problem with the last transaction" was resolved. I dont really care if the purchase goes through but i want to be able to update stuff again and it wont give me the option to select 'none' under payment type. do i have to put another card on there just so i can "resolve the billing problem" and then i have  to take it off again or is there a way around this or is it a never ending cycle?

  • Does anyone know how to remove multiple wireless profiles?

    Interestingly enough, I recently setup a new computer with the same itunes library as my old computer which I moved to another part of the house. I renamed BOTH libraries from their previous names. These are both iMacs. Now, all my iOS devices (iphones/ipads/etc.) show up on BOTH and wirelessly sync to BOTH! So, I turned off wireless sync on one of the machines but the devices still show up in the menu. Also, on the devices themselves both libraries show up as available to sync. Does anyone know how to remove the wireless capabilities from one computer or device so the devices just sync with a single library?

    The instructions that are on reedcorner are great, however if you wish to do things in a simpler way; I have created an Automator workflow that can take you through the process. You can download it here: https://public.me.com/edson.ajj
