Sms collection evaluator failed to update the membership of collection

It's important to understand collection evaluation behavior so you can make appropriate collection design decisions. For collection evaluation guidance and recommendations, see Best practices for collections.

The colleval. If the include collections also have query rules, or have include or exclude collections, evaluate them also. If the include collections themselves are limiting collections, evaluate any collections below them. After fully evaluating the tree, return the results to the calling collection. If the exclude collections also have query rules, or have include or exclude collections, evaluate them also.

If these collections themselves are limiting collections, evaluate any collections below them. Compare the result set from evaluating the direct members and include collections with the results of evaluating the exclude collections.

Trigger any dependent collections to update as well. Dependent collections are collections that the current collection limits, or that refer to the current collection using include or exclude rules. You can use management insights in the Configuration Manager console to help you manage your collections. There's a group of insights specific to Collections. There are also several insights in the Configuration Manager Assessment group for collections. The following table describes collection evaluation triggers and their corresponding evaluation types.

A collection evaluation graph maps all collections that relate to the collection targeted for evaluation. For the collection evaluator to use the schedule, set the RefreshType property to periodic 2. This value indicates how Configuration Manager refreshes the collection. The default value is manual 1. Possible values:. To base the refresh on the schedule specified in RefreshSchedule , set this property to periodic 2.

If you set this property to manual 1 , manually update the collection with the RequestRefresh method. For more information about both the class qualifiers and the property qualifiers included in the properties section, see Configuration Manager class and property qualifiers.

Your application can use a collection to target resources for software distribution. The picture below is the setting in question. Previously, when you configured a schedule on a query-based collection, the site would continue to evaluate the query whether or not you enabled the collection setting to Schedule a full update on this collection.

To fully disable the schedule, you had to change the schedule to None. Now the site clears the schedule when you disable this setting. To specify a schedule for collection evaluation, enable the option to Schedule a full update on this collection.

If you have NOT already upgraded to ConfigMgr , you can use the following PowerShell script to change disable the schedule to None for all of the collections where the checkbox has been unchecked. Eswar Koneti has a great post and script to help you further. Collections with the Schedule checkbox unchecked but with an active schedule can be found using the ConfigMgr PowerShell cmdlets.

If you run this query before upgrading to , you should expect to find some collections. Instead they will all have RefreshType 2 and can be found with this query:. In the ConfigMgr Console import a new device named Test1 accepting all defaults. Wait for the device populate the Parent collection Default Incremental update is 5 mins , then manually add Direct rules to each of the Child collections by selecting the collection and clicking Add Resources.

This action cause a. UDC file to be added to the colleval. This file simply tells SCCM to trigger an update on the collection right away. Verify Collection Membership. Summary This test worked as expected. The device made it into all collections. My guess is that MOST collection membership rules are added After a device is already in the limiting collection, so this just works because of the UDC file being added to the colleval.

In the ConfigMgr Console import a new device named Test2. On the Choose Target Collections step, click Add then select all 3 Child collections then accept the remaining defaults.

Click Add to select collections.
