Best practice to remove hardware without reopening all of the tickets associated with it
When computers (or users) are removed from inventory, any tickets associated with the computer will reopen. Is there a way to prevent this or a better way to manage our licenses? I searched and found similar issues but nothing that answered my question. Even some custom scripting that could be added to my current would be helpful.
TIA

Use the archival function for users and devices.
Devices:
Inventory | Devices | (Choose Action) | Configure MIA Settings
Choose Archive MIA asset devices
(or from the dropdown archive)

So it must be one of my scripts causing tickets to reopen. We have this on and set to archive after 30 days (Automatic is unchecked?) I used one of the rules from this site to make Category and Resolution required to close a ticket. That must have something to do with the reopen after hardware is deleted? It seems that when the hardware or user is removed, the ticket reopens. - civilnj 5 years ago
