unable to discover OU's in collections
I just installed SCCM 2007 R3 and i am trying to create a collection by specific OU's. i have enabled AD system group discovery and AD system discovery. within the new collection i have used system resource-system OU Name. when i click on the values i do not get a list of available OU's to choose from and when i manually enter the path of the OU i want to collect from i get no client results. i have tried refreshing the discovery methods and also the collection with no avail.

Hi,

When you right-click a client in the console and look for the properties, do you see the AD informationn?

Maybe this post help you:

you need to run the AD System Group discovery on assigned resources to get the OU values.

What does adsysgrp.log says ? Check if the computers are already discovered by AD system discovery to get the OU details into DB bcz ad system group discovery will not discover does not discover new resources; it adds group information to previously discovered resources.

Can you try updating the collection membership and see if that gets ?

Do you see any warnings/errors messges under SMS_System_group discovery_agent ?

More info about AD system Group Discovery http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb694071.aspx

Are you trying with qeury similar to below :

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 ="ESKONR.COM/COMPUTERS" 

If all above doesnt help ,take a look this thread might help you http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/configmgrgeneral/thread/886b77db-796c-4813-9231-f8f495fc036

on both the AD system group discovery and AD system discovery i pointed to the top most level of the domain that i want discovered. my understanding was that it should pick up all groups,containers, OUs underneath it if i checked "include groups" on the search options. i will try and add the specific OU i want discovered as well and see if that does the trick.

yes the systems are already discovered within SCCM but there is no OU properties within the system properties. i have updated the collection membership many times with no result and there are no warnings/errors in the system status/site status. i have tried manually inputting the sql querry and used the wizard but nothing shows up in the new collection.

would extending the AD schema after installing SCCM cause this problem?

I would either force discovery to run as soon as possible or run back through the logs.  I have seen where it took several passes to grab all the OUs.  It took 2 days to pull them all in.

it has been 4 days since i initially setup the AD discoverys. i see no errors in the logs and it looks like everything else has been imported into SCCM all the usergroups,machines, and users seem to be there. very frustrating.

did you check adsysgrp.log ? it should have some info what has been discovered .

Hi,

 

You may refer to the following steps to check:

 

1. Confirmed that the AD System Discovery and AD System Group Discovery methods were enabled.

2. Next make sure the specific OU is listed under Active Directory containers. If it is not, add it by clicking the New Active Directory Container icon (yellow star). Select Custom LDAP or GC query, then click the Browse button and browse to the OU.

 

Alternatively, you can just choose the root of your domain, and use enable the Recursive Search option checkbox.

 

Regards,

 

Sabrina

I am having the same issue.  Have been reading for two days now and nothing I find allows me to populate the collections.  Was an answer found to this issue?
March 20th, 2012 5:36pm

Yes, I know this is an old post, but Im trying to clean them up.

Did you solve this problem, if so what was the solution?

Since no one has answer this post, I recommend opening  a support case with CSS as they can work with you to solve this problem.
