Can SCCM Poll a subnet to determine PC's that are NOT in any collections in SCCM?

What I would like to know is if SCCM can scan a subnet for PC's that it does not have in any of its collections. I would say we have 50 PC's that are reporting into SCCM but another 50 that are NOT reporting to SCCM. I want to get SCCM to find the latter
50 PC's scan them and add them to a device collection. Is this possible to do without manually entering all 50 PC's?
Also if a device collection was deleted will the SCCM server be able to still find the clients that did report to it or would the clients have to manually be re added to the SCCM server?
Sorry if I am lacking any detail I am very new to this venue and I can provide more information when I receive some feedback.
Thank you in advance
Bryan

ConfigMgr cannot and does not "scan" subnets. There's AD discovery which can add computer (or user) resources to the CM database.
Collections have nothing to do with all that. They are just there for grouping resources (in order to deploy software to them etc). Just deleting a collection will not automatically remove the resources that are member of it (unless you select to do so) - so
it does not stop the client agents to function.

  • HT201322 itunes 11.0.3 - in my iTunes library I can no longer see purchased TV shows and Movies that are not downloaded to my computer. also In my Itunes account i have no hidden TV shows or Movies

    I'm running itunes 11.0.3 -
    in my iTunes library I can no longer see purchased TV shows and Movies that are not downloaded to my computer.
    In my Itunes account i have no hidden TV shows or Movies
    I used to be able to view all cloud and downloaded content.  I no longer can.

    There used to be option to show items that are in the cloud in your library, but I can't find where that now is (unless it's been removed). You should be able to see what items that you can re-download via the Purchased link under Quicklinks on the right-hand side of the iTunes store home page (at the top right of that there should be a 'not on this computer' button)
    Edit : Just seen your reply, though I don't appear to have that setting on mine.

  • How can I find photos that are not in any event?

    Help!  I have finally, after a decade or so, organized my events and emptied out the trash and gotten rid of duplicates. Round of applause, please.  How can I find out if there are sneaky pictures that are NOT in any particular event (please dont say by showing all photos and just going through each one!)

    You can't because every photo is in an Event already. That's how iPhoto works. Every photo is in the LIbrary. The Library is built upon events. SO if it's in iPhoto, it's in the Library and in an Event.
    Albums are different, as they refernce photos in the LIbrary. It;s perfectly possilbe to have a photo in the Library but not in an album.

  • Why does text on certain portions of websites, usually when adjacent text contains special characters, become jumbled into seemingly random sets of characters that are not in any way jumbled when viewing the source of the webpage? How can I fix this?

    When viewing most text on most websites, it displays properly. However, there are two instances where text will either tend to, or consistently, become jumbled into a mess of seemingly random characters. Oddly enough, these seemingly random characters are not, in fact, random. The same weird character will be used to replace the same regular English text character consistently across the entire area that has been jumbled.
    The two instances where this tends to occur most often, or consistently in some cases, are, first, when a paragraph or particular section of formatted text contains special characters, such as Chinese or Japanese characters, or accented letters. When this happens, usually the paragraph that contains the special characters is completely jumbled, while the rest of the text on the page will have intermittent jumbling on a word or two. Most often, the word "the" is jumbled in this case.
    The second instance where this happens is when a website uses specially formatted text in some form or another. I, not being an expert at web development, am not sure what kind of formatting causes it, but I can provide consistent examples in lieu of my experience:
    - Example 1:
    [http://img408.imageshack.us/img408/9564/firefoxcharencodingissu.jpg]
    Example 1 shows a portion of a screen-shot of the website "Joystiq.com". Every single article title on the front page of this blog is consistently jumbled, while the text of the article itself remains untouched. Please note that when this jumbled text is highlighted, it is visible un-jumbled in the right-click menu as well as in the source code of the page. Other consistent instances can be found within many search fields on various websites. For instance, the search bar located at the top right of "Kotaku.com" consistently displays jumbled characters both on its default text of "Search" and on any text that is typed into the search box itself.
    - Example 2:
    [http://img822.imageshack.us/img822/9564/firefoxcharencodingissu.jpg]
    Example 2 shows both the jumbling of the paragraph containing the character "☆" as well as the subsequent peppering of the rest of the article's text with small jumbled words. Below this is the DOM Source of the selected text which shows how the text itself is being rendered properly within the site's source. Additionally, for convenience, I have edited on to the bottom of the image a small snippet of what the search bar on the same page looks like. Notice how the grayed-out text that normally would read "Search" is instead jumbled.
    This issue has been plaguing my browser for the past year or so, and I had hoped that it would go away with subsequent Firefox updates. It has not gone away.
    Thank you for reading! Please help!

    This issue can be caused by an old bitmap version of the Helvetica or Geneva font or (bitmap) fonts that Firefox can't display in that size.
    Firefox can't display some old bitmap fonts in a larger size and displays gibberish instead.
    You can test that by zooming out (View > Zoom > Zoom Out, Ctrl -) to make the text smaller.
    Uninstall (remove) all variants of that not working font to make Firefox use another font or see if you can find a True type version that doesn't show the problem.
    There have also been fonts with a Chinese name reported that identify themselves as Helvetica, so check that as well.
    Use this test to see if the Helvetica font is causing it (Copy & Paste the code in the location bar and press Enter):
    <pre><nowiki>data:text/html,
    Helvetica<br><font face="Helvetica" size="25">abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyzABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ</font><br>
    Helvetica Neue<br><font face="Helvetica Neue" size="25">abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyzABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ</font>
    </nowiki></pre>
    You should reset the network.http prefs that show user set on the about:config page.<br />
    Not all websites support http pipelining and if they do not then you can have issues with images or other problems.

  • How can I add additional airport expresses to my system that are not being recognized by Airport utility?

    I recently purchased time capsule to upgrade my wireless system. I have 3 airport expresses in my network; I was able to reconfigure one, but the other 2 won't reconfigure.  They are not recognized by Airport utility after being reset; the time capsule and one reconfigured airport express shows up.  I would like to use the other two airport expresses to extend my wireless system. I would appreciate any help and suggestions.

    Unfortunately, you will have to use Apple's WDS setting for all of the devices on the network....Time Capsule, new AirPort Express and older AirPort Express devices.
    That is going to slow things down tremendously on the network.
    WDS only operates at "g" wireless speed, so you lose any "n" speed advantage of your newer devices.
    Worse, the bandwidth is cut in half on the entire network for each device that is set up as "relay" or "remote" on the system.
    So, the first "remote" (or relay) cuts wireless speed from 54 Mbps down to 27 Mbps. The second cuts everything down to about 14 Mbps and the third drops everything down to about 7 Mpbs. That is much slower than the old wireless "b" systems.
    Compare that to "n" speeds of 130 Mbps or up to 300 Mbps (if you are using 5 GHz) and you can easily see that you are losing more than 90% of the speed capability on the network.
    Do you even want to consider doing this?

  • I have two podcast folders. I can't delete and redownload the old ones because they are not available any more. How can I get them into the new folder?

    The problem of having 2 'Podcast' folders / menu items after adding a new podcast through clicking on a link in the browser has been addressed on the forums by instructing users to resubscribe to existing podcasts, which then appear in the new folder, and delete the old folder.  This will not work for me as most of the podcasts I listen to are BBC, which vanish from the web 7 days after they were first broadcast (about which much swearing, but that's unalterable).  Consequently I can't adopt this solution.
    I have resubscribed to the podcasts using the link in a browser method, so that they all appear and (in theory) will download new episodes again. However, this leaves the old episodes missing. What must I do to get the episodes downloaded from the old podcasts recognised as belonging to the new subscriptions?

    I found a very fast and easy solution: I selected all the podcasts in the first window, copied them using the command in the Menu>Edit (Command+C did not seem to work). I then pasted them into the new empty folder. All the podcasts already downloaded appeared. The only problem is that some podcasts did not remember which had been viewed or not, while did keep the information. I just had to re-subscribe to the ones I still wanted by clicking on button.
    For some reason, the previous Podcasts folder was only recogized as a list by iTunes, this showed up when I deleted the previous folder (contextual menu). I also had to re-select which ones I wanted synced with my iPad and iPhone.
    (I did make a backup of the Podcasts folder in the Finder, just in case, a bit like voodoo computing)

  • Can I create a port channel to two switches that are not stacked?

    Two switches, not stacked, but connected together via 802.1q trunk.
    Server with four NICs, capable of trunking and LACP.
    Can the switches be setup to have an etherchannel between the two switches and the server?

    Hi,
    In short NO
    You would need to connect your server to only ONE switch if you want all 4 nics in the same TEAM.
    You could use 2 TEAMS and put 2 nics in each forming a 2 port etherchannel to each switch

  • I have about 5,000 images in a Folder.  How can I determine which images are NOT in a Collection?

    I have about 5,000 images in a Folder.  How can I determine which images are NOT in a Collection?

    Create a smart collection with criteria "collection" and "does not contain"; and also with criterion Folder contains (or folder contains all)
    That works if you are thinking about a specific named collection.
    If you are interested in finding photos that are not in ANY collection, the usual trick is "collection" "does not contain" "a e i o u y"

  • On my ipad 2 I can't "see" the hundreds of spoken audio tracks that are in my itunes and on my ipod touch. Is there something I didn't do during sync up?

    On my ipad 2 I can't "see" the hundreds of spoken audio tracks that are in my itunes and on my ipod touch. Is there something I didn't do during sync up? The tracks are from voice recordings that were downloaded from an extrernal drive and weren't necessarily tagged as spoken audio. Do I need to go back into itunes and relabel these tracks so they will show up on my ipad2?
    Thanks in advance for your help!

    With the iPad connected to the computer, while iTunes is running, click on the iPad name on the left side under devices. Click on the Movies tab and look for Movie Rentals. You want to "Move" the films to the iPad.

  • How can I display images that are not included in any collection?

    How can I display images that are not included in any collection (some filter or smart collection)? A smart collection with parameters "Collection - contains - empty field" does not work. Lightroom 5.

    Thank you! Good idea! I ordered letters of the alphabet (space separated), and it works.

  • Can someone tell me how to get my apps that are on my ipad to appear on my TV using Apple Tv

    Can someone tell me how to get my apps that are on my IPad to be viewed on my Apple TV?

    Welcome to the Apple Community Coachcad.
    Basic AirPlay: Assuming both devices are on the same network and that AirPlay is not turned off on the Apple TV, then simply tap on the screen when you are watching content you wish to stream to your Apple TV, then tap the airplay icon that appears in the control bar, choose the Apple TV from the menu that appears.
    Mirroring: When displaying the content you wish to mirror on the iPad 2 (or better), iPad Mini, iPhone 4S (or better), swipe from the bottom of the screen, tap the AirPlay icon and choose your Apple TV from the list of devices (iOS 7 or better) or double tap the home button (quickly) and swipe the bottom row of apps to the right to reveal the playback controls, tap the AirPlay icon and select your Apple TV from the list of available devices (pre-iOS7)

    How can i fix a clip when the video and audio are not matching up? I imported the video from a junkdrive in a .VOB format and concerted to a .mov the videos were filmed on a miniDVD recorder.

    I would try detaching the audio and the dragging the audio to the left or right until it lines up.

  • How can I find photos that are not assigned to any collection?

    Hi !
    I'm using LR 5.7.1 on a Mac.
    When I've retouched raw pictures with PS CC (and do not need the PSD file any longer) I export the PSD (that is in my catalog) as JPG and let it add to my catalog automatically. After that I delete the PSD file. That works fine.
    But .... the new JPG file is not assigned to any collection. That's no problem unless I forget to do it manually after that export (and import).
    That brings me to my question.
    How can I find photos that are not assigned to any collection?
    I tried it with a smart collection after I found nothing suitable in library filter. The search criteria I tried are Source -> Collection with any of the conditions. One with an empty value field, then with just a space and so on.
    Has anybody a good hint for me?
    Thomas

    You can also add numbers if you have collections that don't use alphabet characters.

    The best way to do that is create a new "smart group" with the following:
    This way you can identify those without a group and drag them to one.
