For details about how to select the execution details of the Data maintenance task, see 10.7.2 Specifying the work to be performed by the Data maintenance task in the manual Setup Guide.

If you change a device's status to Restore, Scrap, or Pre-Scrap, the device's IP address, component information, and installed software information are all deleted the next time the Data maintenance task registered in Windows Scheduled Tasks is executed.
This also applies to devices whose status is similarly updated from windows.
The default is that you can select from the statuses Stock, Active, Restore, Scrap, Pre-Scrap, and Erase.
