The collection query we use for users and computers is : Computers :
select SMS_R_System.ResourceId, SMS_R_System.ResourceType, SMS_R_System.Name, SMS_R_System.SMSUniqueIdentifier, SMS_R_System.ResourceDomainORWorkgroup, SMS_R_System.Client from SMS_R_System where SMS_R_System.SystemGroupName = "DOM\\GROUP_NAME_FROM_AD" Users : select SMS_R_USER.ResourceID,SMS_R_USER.ResourceType,SMS_R_USER.Name,SMS_R_USER.UniqueUserName,SMS_R_USER.WindowsNTDomain from SMS_R_User where SMS_R_User.UserGroupName = "DOM\\GROUP_NAME_FROM_AD" Make sure the collection is set to incremental updates and you should be good to go. It's not instant, but the software should go out in a few minutes. Hope that helps From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of sccmfun Sent: 03 March 2015 10:42 To: [email protected] Subject: [mssms] Deploy applications using AD groups. What is the best way to create a collection to deploy software to users/computers based off of AD Group Should I populate the collection using the security group name, in which case the collection only has 1 member (ex: contoso\winzip) or should I create the collection so it returns the members of the group so it shows the actual objects (ex: 15 users/computers)? I thought I remember something that the collection needs to have the actual computer/user names returned and not just the 1 group name returned or users/computers would need to logoff/logon for their token to refresh before they receive the policy. Does anyone have the query they use? My goal is to create a collection based off AD group (ex: contoso\winzip) and have the least amount of wait/interaction from the user.
