We are re-formatting a PC
Before we do, I want to double-check there are absolutely no files checked out on that PC.
I can do a search for files checked out by user.
But is there a way, even with a custom search or something, to find all checked out files to a particular PC, instead of particular user?
might not be ideal but try this:
Search in Checked in/out and then don't select any user and also make sure to have selected only 'display checked out files' and deselected other option.
then do search - might take a long - depends on amount of files.
When you get the search results just sort them by column 'checked out in'.
Not ideal but gives you something for start:)
Thanks Wojciech. Can definitely do that.
Was looking for even easier solution. Just to search for "all files checked out on this PC"
Would be cool if we could set up a PC name as a User, and search by that.
There must be a way to do this.

Also i think you would have to do that search one every machine, as if I'm not wrong if someone just created a file and never checked it in to the pdm and have it as checked out to them, the server won't know that there is a file checked out in that machine - as it was never on server.
Our EPDM knows if a file is on their local machine but not checked in yet. It can still see that file, but other people on other PCs cannot access it. It puts the file name in Italics and says "Private State"
Anyway, that's what we want - to just search that one PC. I'm going to reformat the hard drive, so I want to make sure that Everybody's files are off of it.
Hi Chris
I use the attached crp report within the report generator to give me the following columns
You can then filter the PC column to the PC that you are looking for and see what files and who they are checked out by.
Hope this helps
