Yes: Creating Macros or a Macro to delete filespace for any node is very
doable and works quite well, I have even scheduled them to run
automatically if needed. I am not sure where someone would really want to
automatically delete filespaces unless it was to prep the ADSM system to
remove expired clients at a future date,  Maybe a setup were Contractors
were needed and on there expiration you could remove them from your system
and you needed to do this by first removing there filespace automatically.
Hope this helps,

Deleting volumes like this is a big time database thumper, so you only want
to start a few processes at a time.  Maybe even one at a time to avoid
database deadlocks.  I haven't played with the scripting conditional stuff
yet, but perhaps there is something in there to start a process and wait
for it's completion before starting another one.
