Hi,

Here's an example script you can use in this scenario:

<#
AUTHOR: Eswar Konetti
DATE: 18-Nov-2016
COMMENT : This script will read notepad file for client computers
         ,check if they exist and remove from SCCM .
VERSION: 1.0
#>
# Determine script location and create log file to store the results
$ScriptDir = Split-Path $script:MyInvocation.MyCommand.Path
$log = "$ScriptDir\clientremoval.log"
$date = Get-Date -Format "dd-MM-yyyy hh:mm:ss"

"--------------------- Script executed on $date (dd-MM-yyyy hh:mm:ss) ----------- ----------" + "`r`n" | Out-File $log -append
#try import SCCM Module ,if error catch it.
Try
{
Import-Module (Join-Path $(Split-Path $env:SMS_ADMIN_UI_PATH) ConfigurationManager.psd1)
$SiteCode = Get-PSDrive -PSProvider CMSITE
$SMSProvider=$sitecode.SiteServer
Set-Location "$($SiteCode.Name):\"
}
catch
{
 "[ERROR]`t SCCM Module couldn't be loaded. Script will exit!" | Out-File $log -append
 exit 1
 }
 # Read the notepad file for client records
 ForEach ($client in Get-Content $ScriptDir"\clients.txt")
  {
   $CN=Get-CMDevice -Name $client
   $name=$CN.Name
   if ($name)
   {
   try {
       "$date [INFO]`t $name found in SCCM " | Out-File $log -append
Remove-CMDevice -name $client -force
"$date [INFO]`t $name removed from SCCM " | Out-File $log -append
}
catch
{"$date [INFO]`t $name found in SCCM but unable to delete record.Check further " | Out-File $log -append
}
}
   else
    { "$date [INFO]`t $client not found in SCCM " | Out-File $log -append}
   }

You can use this script as a task scheduled to run weekly. All you need to do is pipe your computer records into Notepad and allow the script to run for you automatically.
