Absolutely willing. It is a little more than just a runbook though. 1x Database with Tables and Stored Procedures 1x Orchestrator Server 1x Runbook 1x Web Service for ConfigMgr Provider methods 1x Pre-Execution Hook – a script which calls the runbook and then various web methods Like I said, takes a bit of work to set up and I will blog the whole thing soon but it’s not something I can write down in entirety in an email.

You wouldn't be willing to share that Runbook would you? -Daniel Ratliff -----Original Message----- From: Craig Andrew (OIZ) [[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>] Sent: Friday, October 04, 2013 06:18 AM Eastern Standard Time To: [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> Subject: RE: [mssms] Direct membership add of a new device record taking long time in SCCM 2012. In 2012 the All Systems is set to incremental. When you add a new computer it should be added to All Systems automatically and the collection eval should spot this and run an update of membership, triggering updates across collections set with All Systems as limiting, and which are set to incremental. But I have noticed on occasion that the All Systems, or rather the colleval, doesn’t notice the change and only when either a membership update is initiated manually, or another computer is added, that it is updated. But like I said this only happens occasionally. Because of the various, albeit occasional, disturbances to the colleval, I started using orchestrator to stage the adding of new machines. Create a database, a table, and a runbook which will save all add new machine requests and process en bullk every ten minutes. Then use the runbook to check the coll memberships and include retries if necessary, once everything is ready give a status back that the ts can continue. It sounds like a lot of work, but just to get rid of these anomalies and give peace of mind that every single machine will stage correctly is worth it. You can also do this with a script but I find orchestrator more elegant. Andrew From: [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Ryan Sent: Freitag, 4.

My guess is this order is happening: 1) Computer record is created 2) Task sequence creates direct membership rule for computer 3) Collection refreshes because of the new rule, but limiting collection is all systems and computer isn't there yet so it isn't added 4) Computer is added to the All Systems collection --Some time later-- 5) Collection hits it's refresh schedule and adds the computer. I'd suggest doing an update membership refresh on the All Systems collection, sleeping for a few seconds, and then creating the direct rule. You may have more luck.

Most collections are going to be limited to All Systems, so if the new record isn't in all collections yet it won't be added.

Though updating All Systems might have an impact depending on how many devices are in your environment.

From there we than move it to a imaging collection. We are noticing since moving to SCCM 2012 it taking a long time before the records will show up in that collection. In 2007 it would show up in a 1-2 minutes. I’ve done some reading and this may be due to the limiting collections in SCCM 2012. We have a single Primary and the collection is limited on all Systems.
