New Post: Trying to remove "Pending deletion" items cause a lot of (yellow) warnings

Greetings,

I currently have around 347 items stored in the "deleted items" view, in the administration pane. When using the below PowerShell script, which in turn uses SMLets commands, nothing happens:

import-module smlets
$class = Get-SCSMClass | where{$_.name -match “system.configitem”}
$deletedobjects = Get-SCSMObject -class $class | where{$_.objectstatus -match “Pending”}
$deletedobjects | set-scsmobject -property objectstatus -value deleted

$DeletedObjects however never gets filled. There are a lot of yellow warnings on the screen about a "DisplayName" already being present. After that, nothing.

I'm also unsure if the command  triggers the grooming part of SCSM, which is also explained on:

Anyone got any idea?
