How can I create multi adverts for one AD sec group?

[TexasBig]

Hello,

 

First an introduction; I'm not new to the IT world but I am a true noob to SCCM in any form (or SMS for that matter). I have had experience with CA's SD but that is a different world . We have SCCM 2012 Version 5.0.7711.0

 

My company has training and workshops scheduled for me but of course I cant wait hence my question.

 

First question:

 

I have perused a lot of guides from Mr. Anyweb (heretofore to be referred to as AW) but I find nothing on the following scenario:

 

I would like to create on AD Sec group, lets say "New Laptops", and have it so that any machine name I drop in there will get all of the applications it was predetermined to need.

 

Right now I have 10-15 sec groups and the adverts are working well, however when I build a new PC I have to add it to 10-15 groups to get everything it needs.

 

Any guidence will be appreciated.

That's possible. You can target as many deployments to a collection as you want, no matter what the collection is based on...

Hi, As Peter writes you can deployments to a Collection that you like. You could also use a script in the task sequence to add the computer to all those Groups if you like to have it neat and tidy. http://ccmexec.com/2010/08/adding-computer-to-ad-groups-during-deployment/

First of all I appreciate you both taking the time to reply to my question. It’s good to know this is possible.

 

Jorgen, Thank you sir however I have a one track mind and I would like to see my original "vision" through. Simply to drop a machine into an AD group and let it run.

 

I have search extensively for a step by step "How to" which is what brought to this site and the many great guides that it has.

Unfortunately I haven’t found just the right guide for what I’m trying to do.

Simply create a memebrship rule on your collection which queries the AD group membership.

 

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.SystemGroupName = "DOMAIN\\GROUPNAME" and SMS_R_System.Client = 1 and SMS_R_System.Obsolete = 0
