I'm guessing those clients may have been aged out via site maintenance tasks, but the direct membership to them still exists. If you do a select * from collection_rules where QueryName = '' it should show all of the rows where this is occurring in each collection for cleanup purposes. If this is in fact the case, I'd suggest submitting a connect.microsoft.com bug to improve the clean-up of aged out clients which have direct memberships.
From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Beardsley, James Sent: Wednesday, December 4, 2013 8:12 AM To: [email protected] Subject: [mssms] Collection membership issues Hello all. I have a direct membership (device) collection that indicates there are 6 machines when I look at the membership through the collection properties window (even though they appear as blank spaces). However, within the console, it only shows 2 machines. I've updated collection membership, refreshed, waited hours, removed all of the machines from the collection and added them through the "Add resources" built-in method (as opposed to right click tools) and still, it only shows 2 computers in the collection. Has anyone seen this before? What else can I try? Its only a test collection so its not a big deal if I have to recreate it but in case this happens in the future, wanted to see if there was a known solution. Also, I was hoping that the blank spaces "glitch" shown below was fixed in 2012. Just curious, what causes this? I only remember it happening when you add computers to a collection via the right click tools, but I could be wrong about that.
