I have a new secondary site and I would like to have its new clients automaticly added to a specific collection when they are installed. What is the best method for this?tconners

Your best bet would be if those machines were also in a seperate OU but that's a best case and probably unlikely. Second option would be based off IP address, but that's assuming not many of those machines travel around. John Marcum | http://myitforum.com/cs2/blogs/jmarcum/|

It depends on how you can indetify the clients, AD site or ip subnet might be a good starting point.Kent Agerlund | My blogs: blog.coretech.dk/kea and SCUG.dk/ | Twitter: @Agerlund | Linkedin: Kent Agerlund

Depending on how you distinguish them in your environment, you build a collection based on a query: Here's some example of queries used at some clients to define collections... One client I know uses the computer name to ID the site. For instance, every computer in Atlanta is named with the last three characters ATL... 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.Name like "%ATL" A different client uses AD OU... 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.SystemOUName = "ADDOMAIN.LOCAL/COMPANY/TEST_OU" Or you could build it based on IP subnet... 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.IPSubnets = "10.22.0.0
