Updating all collection memberships

In 2007, we could select "Update collection membership" and select to update subcollection membership as well. I have migrated all of our collections to 2012, and the sub-collections are now residing in folders. I can highlight all of the collections
immediately under "device collections" and update them. But in order to update the collections now in folders, I have to go to each folder and repeat this process. Is there not a way to update all collections like I could in 2007? Thanks

I would love to enable dynamic collection updates and was planning on doing this for all my collections until I read this yesterday:
http://social.technet.microsoft.com/wiki/contents/articles/11215.system-center-2012-configuration-manager-best-practices-en-us.aspx
When you enable the Use incremental updates for this collection option, this configuration might cause evaluation delays when you enable it for many collections. The threshold is about 200 collections.
We have over 250 collections in our environment right now. So that puts that idea out. Thanks though
Then, as Jorgen said, updating all of your collections at the same time, is a bad idea from a performance perspective. Also, why not just enable dynamic updates on the collections that actually need to be dynamically updated? I heavily doubt that all of your
collections need this?

  • Report to list all computers and their collection membership

    Hi
    I am currently working on a site where direct membership is used for collections but a need has arisen to move to AD Queries.
    I have created a simple powershell script that creates groups based on the contents of a csv file and another script which populates this with the members listed in another csv file.
    To help speed up the process is there a way to generate a report that lists ALL Computers and their Collection membership?
    The only reports I seem to find that are built in require an inputted value of either computer name of collection ID. I simply need a report that lists Computer Name is column 1 and Collection Name in column 2 for all computers and all collections.
    Many Thanks,
    Matt Thorley

    select 
    FCM.Name,
    C.Name
    from 
    dbo.v_Collection C
    join dbo.v_FullCollectionMembership FCM on C.CollectionID = FCM.CollectionID
    Thanks to Garth for original query. I just modified it :)

  • Report for all Collection Resources all Memberships

    Hi All,
    Hope you are all doing very well, I have one situation where I need to know all the memberships of a specific collection resources. We have a collection ABC and have about 800 computers in this collection. I have to provide a report to my Manager which should
    show all the other collections to which each of these 800 computers belong, please advise how should I do this.
    Virgo

    you can get this info via reports but the list will be huge for all the resources in collection . 1 PC member of X  collections,800*X will be huge .Try the following SQL query:
    select sys.name0 [PC Name]  coll.Name [Collection Name] ,fcm.CollectionId [Coll ID] from dbo.v_R_System
    sys
    join dbo.v_FullCollectionMembership fcm on sys.ResourceID = fcm.ResourceID
    join dbo.v_Collection coll on coll.CollectionID = fcm.CollectionID
    Where sys.Name0 in("PC1","PC2","PC3",........"PC800")

  • OU based Device Collection Membership not updated frequently

    Hi,
    I have create  one OU based device Collection and  checked Used incremental updates for this collection  under Membership rules but whenever any Computer object moved form this OU to another OU than such Device is not removed
    from same OU based Device Collection... the Collection membership change is not happening properly even after i did update membership of that OU based device collection..
    My requirement is whenever any Computer object added or removed in/from any OU in AD than  the membership of corresponding OU based device collection should up updated within 5-10 minutes  how i can do this .
    To achieve this I done below configuration but its membership of the collection not updated... please guide..
    Shailendra Dev

    To add to Jorgen, note, there is going to be more to it than just AD discovery.
    What exactly does your query look like?
    Exactly how often is both your Hardware inventory and Heartbeat discovery set to? Do you have SW inventory enabled?
    Just to get thing out there IMO the requirement updated within 5-10 minutes is nuts.

  • Collection Membership Rules - Query returns object, Collection shows no members..?

    Hi All, 
    I'm hoping i have just made a simple error / change and not noticed, however at the moment and not for all Collections, i am having issues with Membership.
    Problem:
    Adding a Computer Object into an AD Group and using a Membership Query (Of the AD Group) to add members to a collection will not work.
    Info:
    I have added a PC to an AD Group "MS Office 2010", forced AD Group Discovery, made a Query and run it to test (Works, shows the member) and added the query to the Membership Rules Tab (Add Rule > Query Rule > Import Query)
    If i then "Update Membership" and/or refresh the collection membership it still does not appear, thus not receiving the software i have advertised to it.
    Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
    Brandon

    Since this is CM07, it will take a while for new groups to be populated. If I remember right you MUST do the following in the following order.
    Create the group and add members
    Wait for AD replication to happened
    Reboot the computers
    Force AD group discovery to happen
    Force Heartbeat discovery to happen
    Create/ force the collection membership to up
    Run the machine policies
    If you use direct membership rule of the security Group:
    Create the group and add members
    Wait for AD replication to happened
    Force AD group discovery to happen
    Create/ force the collection membership to up
    Reboot the computers (anytime after step 2)
    Machine policies should run automatically
    BTW, in CM12 this process has change and it now take ~2 minutes an applciaiton to show on on the computer.
    Create the group and add members
    Wait for AD replication to happened
    Force AD group discovery to happen
    Create/ force the collection membership to up
    Run the machine policies

  • Incremental updates on collections/full schedule - Functional question

    Hi everyone,
    At a customer of mine we have the following set-up:
    Almost all applications are deployed User Based
    Collections are used for targetting the applications
    Incremental updates are enabled on practically all collections which deploy applications
    For the moment this setup is active for 498 collections (out of 714  collections).
    Since it's not advised and Microsoft recommends to only have incremental updates active for 200 collections, I would like to change this setup by means of POSH. I have just finished writing it, but I still have a functional question:
    Which schedule time would be best to activate for the collections? Keep the standard value to update collection every 7 days?
    When would you activate "incremental updates"? Device collections with required software for faster deployment time?
    I only foresee the following "downside":
    We have a lot of applications who are available to "all domain users". When the AD-account is created, it will sync with SCCM and will receive their deployements. But by changing the update schedule to, let's say, 7 days.. They wouldn't be able
    to see and install these applications if the collections haven't been updated yet?
    Thanks for the insight with your experience!
    Kr,
    Sven

    Wow Jörgen, thanks for this information! This was something I haven't read about. Will keep this in mind.
    In your blog, you mention that you use this tool to keep track of performance issues. When do you feel that there are too many collections which have incremental updates enabled (by using the tool)?
    The last weeks/months, we have a lot of issues during OSD. We have collections to which the TS is deployed.
    In orchestrator we have a runbook to add workstations to SCCM + add workstation to collection + update membership of collection. But the update takes from 5 minutes to 40 minutes.. So this is the main issue that we have..
    @Andrew: Thanks for your contribution! I believe you are speaking of "Global Conditions"? I haven't used it either, but I thought that this had some downsides.. For instance, we target most of the applications "Used Based" (since MS is
    moving to user centric deployment). So if I target the application to the "all users" collection and create a "global condition" to only install when user is a member of a specific AD-group (for instance: Skype), then the user still sees
    "skype" in the application catalog and will have an error upon installing it when he is not a member of the skype AD-group.
    Maybe this is completely wrong what I'm saying.. Just did some brainstorming with collegues but haven't found the time to play with it in a test environment. @Jörgen: Please enlighten us if I'm wrong.

  • LR2 lost all Collections - help please

    I've been working with the upgraded LR2 for a couple of days. Today I was working with Smart Collections, somehow managed to generate an error message (can't remember the wording, sorry), and now I have lost all Collections, both those that were brought across from LR1 and the new ones created today in LR2. The Collections tab is completely empty.
    Restarted LR2 and tried to generate a new Smart Collection, with a title the same as that created before the error. LR2 tells me that the specified name is already in use, so I presume the Collections are on my hard drive somewhere. I'm just searching now for .lrsmcoll
    Is it possible to import previously created Collections, and if so how? I backed up the catalogue this morning - hopefully that has saved me a lot of work :)
    Many thanks for any help
    Mike

    Update: My problem seems to have been self-caused. About the same time I started using LR2 I bought a new hard drive and moved all my pictures to it using a somewhat different directory structure. I was able to "teach" LR2 the new locations but the information in the collections was not updated. I still have the original drive and structure and if that's on-line, the collections work fine. I have found no-way to update the collections as to the new locations. Is there a way?

  • OSD: install software DURING task sequence based upon collection membership

    Hi,
    I'd like to refer to my
    previous post as a starting point.
    Below again the background of my question. But please advise on a powershell script that runs at the end of a task sequence that:
    *enumerates the pc's collection memberships and based upon that lists the software available
    *puts this software in a variable and does the installation DURING the task sequence
    J.
    Background:
    At this time, software in our deployment (of Windows 7) is installed AFTER the task sequence is finished.
    The software is deployed based upon the computer membership of collections (which get their info from AD groups).
    Problem is that users see their pc as finished but don't have all their software. It even takes sometimes more then an hour even when we refresh computer policy after final reboot of the system. That's why we really need a bulletproof solution = installation
    of software DURING task sequence.
    Jan Hoedt

    I found some time to adjust the script. Now I've created something similar for a device. Basically it finds the collections of which the device is a member, finds the targeted applications and creates task sequence variables for those applications.

  • IBooks 3.2 does not show all Collections

    After updating, the Collections list has most of my collections in the correct order, but the final ~20 are shown as blank lines in the list.  When selected, it will not go to those shelves.  Also, adding a new collection does not work.  It almost appears like there is a limit on the number of collections allowed (I have probably 50).  When I search for a book on one of those shelves, it then goes to that shelf and the correct names appears on top, but never shows up in Collections list.  I can also swipe to adjacent shelves.  I deleted the app and went to reinstall and it had 3.1.3 listed, so I reinstalled that instead. All my collections are now back as normal.  I will not upgrade again until I hear this problem as been addressed.

    More specific info on my iBook collections situation, my unofficial theory of the problem, and my temporary workaround:
    Situation
    I have exactly 220 iBook collections.  All 220 are showing in the new iBooks app on my macbook pro (which is how I was able to count them all).  On my iPad, however, only 131 collections are visible.  The remaining 89 collections are "invisible" (showing up as blank lines at the bottom of the collection list) and are not selectable.  I can tell that the "invisible" collections are still *there* because there are exactly 89 blank lines between the last listed collection and the "Add Category" line at the bottom of the list.
    Unofficial Theory
    This tells me that the new version of iBooks truncates the collection list to show only the first 128 USER-CREATED collections, "proven" as follows:
    Of the 131 collections that are visible, 3 (Books, Purchased, PDFs) are "hard coded" and cannot be deleted, renamed, or moved.  That leaves exactly 128 "user-created" collections visible.
    Using the iBooks app on my macbook pro, I moved a collection up from #140 to #100.  On my iPad, this new collection, now one of the top 128 user-created collections, shows up but the collection that had been128th (the last collection visible on the list) has now disappeared, keeping the number of visible user-created collections at 128.
    I combined three of the visible collections into one.  What had been the 129th and 130th user-created collections (both invisible) now became the 127th and 128th, and now show up as the last two visible collections on the list.
    Temporary Workaround:
    I can still access the "invisible" collections by either...
    sideswiping from collection to collection until I get to the one I want, or
    searching for a specific book within a collection, opening it and then shutting it, which then leaves me in that book's collection.
    So, no, this isn't the dire emergency it seemed like late last night (I can still access all my books) but it still is damned annoying.  Truly bush league sh*t.  I really hope someone at Apple is working on a fix for this.

  • Can't Update this Collection" After 4.1 update

    Since the update yesterday (05/30/2012) to version 4.1 (official update), I now get the error code that Lightroom "Can't update this collection: Could not contact the Flickr web service.  Please check your internet connection." Exporting to 500px worked fine.  I tried reauthorizing my account, and while it connects fine to do that, I got the same error message when I attempted to publish to Flickr.  I tried exiting the program and restarting it, even reloading the Flickr plugin, all to no avail.

    Lightroom 3.6, 64-bit, Windows 7, 64-bit, everything fully patched. Happens to me also. Doesn't matter whether I have captions or other metadata or not.
    Just now I was able to upload a 17-picture set to Flickr, first time in a week I've gotten more than about 6 pictures to upload.

  • Updating all items of HTML itembox to Oracle table

    Hi friends,
    In my assignment,I need your help. I'm wondering how can I update all the items of my HTML itembox ,defined in one of the jsp page, to Oracle table.
    Thanks in advance.

    hsperhar wrote:
    Thanks ,in that I can deal with the servlet programming and collecting and updating the data in my oracle tables. But how would I collect the names/values of all the items of HTML itembox in my servlet/JSP, so that later I can update my oracle table with those string values.Method request.getParameter(String) will catch the selected items only of the itembox. How can I force the form to pass all the names of items of itembox to servlet. You need to pass them separately. But why do you need to do this? You already know at the server side which options are all in the dropdown. Simply because you couldn't have printed it to the response otherwise.
    Plus: how can we substract two arrays. I mean if A[]={1,2,3} & B[]={2,3} then how can I get C[]=A-B={1}Just write an utility method for that. Or use the Collections framework, the List API for example provides you a removeAll() method.

    If you just installed iCloud does that mean you updated the iOS that's running on your iPad?  If so, you'll want to restore all the programs you have from the backup you hopefully made.

    If you don't want to use iCloud, simply don't activate it.
    You can also download the programs again.

  • Wrong Apple ID: How do I change the Apple ID prompt when Updating All Apps?

    How can I change the (wrong) Apple ID from the password prompting dialogue when I am already signed in Apple Store with my own ID?
    More details of my problem:
    When I try the Apps' Update-All option in my iPod 4, the password dialogue prompts me with my girlfriend's Apple ID; YET, I AM signed in the Apple Store with MY own Apple ID.
    I have already verified my ID under Settings/Store. I have also signed out, signing back in with my Apple ID, just in case. No problems there, for I DO sign in with my own ID ok. The problem is just the prompt dialogue for password, when I try to use the 'Update All' feature it prompts me for password with her ID, not mine.
    If I go back to Apps and choose the Categories (or Top25) menu, at the bottom of the page, it shows me signed in (my Apple ID). If I try to update one Apps it will do ok. But if I try to Update All it will prompt me for password using her ID, waiting for me to type in HER password. I cannot change the Apple ID on that dialogue (static). If I use my password, it will return the "wrong password" dialogue.
    How can I change the prompt for the Update All? What is going on here that I AM signed in but my iPod prompts me with her ID. My iPod is registered under my Apple ID. I have already tried the Hard reset by pressing Home and Power buttons simultaneously, to no avail. I am also using my own network to go Online. I am also with the latest OS in my iPod and my Mac's iTunes.
    Thank you!
    PS This problem is not occurring in my iPhone 4 (same account) nor my Macs.

    Does not work for me. (My iPhone is not jailbroken.)
    I downloaded a paid app "Imray Marine Rules and Signals v1.5" in the USA with my original account (Account1) then moved countries and needed to create a new Apple account (Account2). If I get 'Info' for the app, it is registered to Account1.
    A new version 1.6 of the Imray app has now been released.
    I have set up only Account1 on the iphone (settings - App Store) and both Account1 and Account2 in iTunes on my computer. My iphone always tells me there is 1 app to update. However, when I try to update this app on my iphone, I get asked for the password for Account2, then the download fails as it says I do not have a paid earlier version to update.
    When I am logged into my computer iTunes as Account1 and try to update it on the computer iTunes, it says there are no apps to update (although my version of the app is definitely the old version).
    When I search for the app in iTune Store, it tells me I have already downloaded version 1.6 of the app and the download button is grayed out.
    If I temporarily delete the app from my iTunes then try to re-download, I am asked to purchase it again.
    If I log into iTunes as Account2 then try to download it, I am asked to purchase it.
    Any ideas? I feel I have tried every option and no success.
