This is one of those ugh moments. No idea why I was so focused on doing this within CM collections, as long as during the deployment the machine is in the right OU it will get scanned… talk about trying to make things more difficult! I already had the solution, just thinking too much on CM.
Thanks for kick-starting my brain..

My collection query that looks at AD looks in certain OU’s and finds machines that start with a particular name and adds it to the proper collection. Example if the machine in AD starts with LCAOT then it is a laptop and gets added to the laptops collection. I don’t use queries on CM collections to determine what machines go into the collections. But now I want to see if I can have CM put a machine into a collection based on some criteria. Not sure if this is a doable request, I would be curious how others deal with imaging machines into unknown and how they move them into collections without manually doing it.

I’m confused.. So you have query 1 - if netbios name like “abcd” and this query is attached to your laptops collection Query 2 – if netbios name like “efgh” and this is attached to your desktops collection Devices will always show up in All Systems. If I understand collections correctly, you have to either have the incremental update or a schedule or both for the collections to update on their own from a query. If you right click on these collections and click update collection membership, does it not update? If not might be a problem with collection evaluator. I’ll leave it up to the experts from here..

The problem is the logic we use to determine what is a laptop and what is a desktop is defined by the first 4 letters of the machine name. This is easy to do in AD, and SCCM just adds it to the right Collection, but to move within a collection to collection with this type of query, that is what I am not sure about. So what this tells me is that that machine will be in both Laptop and Desktop, which is not good either. hmmm From: [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Taxter, Latisha Sent: Tuesday, July 08, 2014 1:57 PM To: [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> Subject: [mssms] RE: Moving a machine from All Systems collection to a defined one Do you have your Laptops and Desktops collection set to “use incremental updates for this collection”? From: [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Kevin Johnston Sent: Tuesday, July 8, 2014 10:52 AM To: '[email protected]' Subject: [mssms] Moving a machine from All Systems collection to a defined one I have a Windows 7 TS that images machines that are brand new (or test vms) and everything works great. I have a collection called Laptops and one called Desktops that have a limiting collection of All Systems. The membership rules for these 2 collections is that it looks at AD and when it finds the machine matching the requirements it puts it into the proper collection – this works fine. But now that I have starting imaging machines out of Unknown it only adds them to All systems/All desktop and Server clients. How do I get the machine to get into the proper collection? I don’t want to include the All systems collection as a membership rule, so I am not sure how I can do this without manually adding the new machine to the proper collection. I am thinking I need to create another query on the Laptop and Desktop collection to search the All Systems collection to add the “new” machine.
