Matt,

Thanks! The "deleteAllEvents" is perfect.  Basically what happens is
when we reimage a machine, we don't want to know about anything that
could have happened in a previous install or during the reimage
process.  But setting to decomissioned isn't an appropriate solution
as we actually want to keep track of what state the machines are in-
whether it be redeploying software or reimaging the system.

Thanks again!
-Trey
