Use the MDT Db, and then use roles with Apps/Packages. Tie the roles to the devices.

What is the best way to get the machines to install the required applications from SCCM during the MDT build without having to wait hours for every collection to refresh? We base all our collections off of AD group, so machine named Computer01 is in AD group Contoso\WinZip + 30 other app groups. We have about 1000 collections, so can't use incremental updates. The only solution I can come up with is during the MDT build have a script that adds Computer01 as a direct membership to all 30 collections and then at the end remove that direct membership from each collection. They build about 100 machines a day which means each collection we hit will update during the build which mean probably throughout the day every collection in the environment will be updating, which seems like not a great idea. Curious if anyone else has had to tackle this. Thanks Rob
