If you’re going to be using a test collection for something like build testing, be sure that it is limited to the All Systems collection if you’re going to be importing new, out of the box computers for testing.ĢPint beta exams bootable flash drive BranchCache Certification Configuration Manager Configuration Manager 2012 Cortana DHCP Server DNS Server Domain Controller evaluation software Excel Flash Drive Handy to Have Hyper-V Lab Learn from my Mistakes MDT MDT 2013 Microsoft Microsoft Deployment Toolkit MMS Nomad Novell client oobeSystem OSD Peer Cache Power BI PowerShell SCCM SXS System Center System Center Configuration Manager Tableau Task Sequence Task Sequences Training Unattend.xml Upgrade Virtual Router Windows 10 Windows 10 Bare Metal builds Windows PE Windows Serer Windows Server So it only sat in All Systems, and since my test collection was not looking at All Systems it would never find it. Since my imported computer had never reported inventory the query to scoop it up would pass right over it. That collection was, for the record, built using a query that looks at the OS info returned from Hardware Inventory.

Where things went off the tracks for me was that my test collection was limited to that Windows 7 custom collection.
If, while going through the Import Computer wizard you specify a collection to add it to SCCM will create a direct membership rule for your newly imported computer account. That’s why when I searched All Systems I could find my imported machine. When you import a computer into SCCM it is added to the All Systems collection. I could only chuckle and laugh at myself for missing that in the first place. Then I noticed that my test collection was limited to a custom collection we have set up for only Windows 7 computers.
No mater what I tried the imported computer would not appear in my test collection. I tried adding the object to the collection using a query. I’d search All Systems and it would be there, so I know the import worked. I’d import the computer and have the wizard place it into my testing collection, but it would never show up. I had a testing collection used solely for testing this new build. I was getting frustrated when I was importing the MAC address of a new, out of the box computer into SCCM 2012 to be used to test my latest development build. This is probably one of those “Duh” moments that we all have but I thought I’d share it anyway.
