Generally, ServiceNow should not directly delete computers in SCCM.

The common pattern is:

  • CI is set to Retired in ServiceNow

  • ServiceNow sends a decommission request to SCCM

  • SCCM validates and deletes the device after a delay ( 30–90 days)

This avoids accidental deletion and re-creation by discovery.
Simply: ServiceNow signals intent; SCCM owns and executes the deletion.
