Shifting machine from one collection to other in SCCM

In SCCM (System Center Configuration Manager), a collection is a logical grouping of devices that share similar characteristics or requirements. Collections are used to manage and target deployments, policies, and other configurations in SCCM. To move machines from one collection to another, you can follow these steps:

Right Click on the collection where you have to add the machine and select properties.


From the property menu go to the membership tab, and click the new rule button.


 Click next :-



Enter the following details:-
Resource Class – System Resource
Attribute name – Netbios Name
Value – Machine Name


Select the collection in which you want to search on generally all the machine associated with sccm are present in all systems so we can put all systems here or we can leave it black sccm will figure it out.


Select the machine:-

 

Click finish to end the wizard:-


Click the refresh button in the collection after finishing the process the machine will be added to the collection.


Best Practices:
When working with collection membership in SCCM 2007, it's important to keep the following best practices in mind:

1. Regularly review and update collection membership to ensure it accurately reflects the desired devices or users.

2. Avoid large collections that may impact SCCM 2007 performance during deployments or policy evaluation.

3. Ensure collection membership queries are optimized for efficiency.

It's worth noting that SCCM 2007 lacks the dynamic collection membership feature available in later versions. If you require dynamic collection membership, consider upgrading to a more recent version of SCCM (such as SCCM 2012 or later) that offers enhanced collection management capabilities.
