Is it possible to create Query Based collections based on the OU (organizational unit) members and hence create reports based on OU Structure? We have a complex OU structure & intend to allign the collections dynamically associated to the membership of the OUs in the Active Directory. Regards, HarishHarry

Sure. The first step is to enable AD System Group Discovery: this will add OU information for all discovered and assigned resources. SMS_R_System will then contain all the OUs a system is in; there are multiple because it contains a entry for the actual OU it is in and for each parent OU. Using this info, the collections can be built using dynamic collection rules. There is a tool (created by Matt Hudson) that will actually build the Collections for you also: http://www.sccm-tools.com/tools/standalone/standalone-oucreation.html.Jason | http://myitforum.com/cs2/blogs/jsandys | http://blogs.catapultsystems.com/jsandys/default.aspx | Twitter @JasonSandys
