[Clean-CMClientCache.ps1] New version skips cache items about sccm-zone.com HOT 9 CLOSED

Hi @zebox1,

Sorry for the delay in handling this issue. Can you please post the full command you ran to clean the cache?
Also please use the -Debug and -Verbse switches and attach the log file.

Thank you

Testing v4.0 of the script I am hitting a similar issue.

Clean-CMClientCache.ps1 -CleanupActions ALL -LoggingOptions Host,File -Verbose

Log:

[Main:CleanupResult] ::

The cache item above was not deleted and it did not show the cache items for "Uninstall Content". In this run there should have been 4 other cache entries.

What I noticed is that if an applications Uninstall Content is set to be the same as the Install Content (Specific Setting in Application Deployment Type) then the script finds it. If the App Deploy Type is set to have different uninstall content then install content the the script doesn't show it or delete it.

Either way cache items are not being cleaned up.

I’ll have a look. Can you also include the -Debug switch?

So I ran the command again but with the debug flag and here was the results.

This time it correctly found and removed all the cache items. I'll link the log file since it contains the runs that did not find the other cache items or remove the one item it did find. The only thing that changed on the current run is that a few days have passed between runs.

If you look at the ‘failed’ cleanup it says
‘AboveReferencedThreshold’. Did you specify the ReferencedThreshold manually?
Because if you did it works as designed.
The cache will only be deleted if it was not Referenced that the specific number of days you specify at runtime.

I was leaving the Reference flag not defined since the default is documented as "0". I tried manually specifying zero with the same result.

It feels like the 0 setting only deletes cache items that are 1 day old since last reference.

Basically as long as the the cache item is not part of a pending, active, or scheduled deployment I want it to delete. I don't care about last reference time or retention beyond that.

Do I need to specify a different flag for this?

from sccm-zone.com.

I located my ReferenceThreshold issue. For whatever reason my Last Reference Time is being set 6 hours ahead of the actual time it was last referenced. That seems like a client configuration issue i'll need to track down and not so much a problem with the script (Unless this 6 hour offset is not a configuration issue and is standard practice by the client).

Hmm... shouldn’t. Maybe it’s stored in UTC?
I haven’t had time to look at the code yet but you could try with setting the Reference flag to -1. I don’t remember exactly what I did but it should work.

These two fixes should cover the issue. Feel free to reopen this issue if any more cleanup problems pop up.
Thanks again @Wolfereign for the fixes.
