Cleanup old systems from SMS 2003

We are using SMS 2003 and about 50% of the inventoried systems are gone.  In the SMS console, I can delete an old system but I cannot select multiple systems to delete.  Is there anyway to delete multiple systems at a time?  It will take forever to do one at a time.

Thank you,

Jeff

By old, do you mean obsolete?  If so

I created a collection based on following query to check for obsolete clients

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 where obsolete = 1

I can then delete special on the clients in this container.

ASKER

So removing old unused systems from SMS has to be done by SQL query?  After you run the SQL query what do you do?  I've increased the points.
