Limit to Collection PowerShell Script Help

[a4wagon]

Hi everyone,

 

We migrated 310 Collections under a Folder. I want to be able to update the collections from the default limited to "all system" to a desktop collection only so that my helpdesk team can manage those collections due to having access to that new limited collection but not all system.

 

So here is the deal. I know I can use the wmi query or powershell. I would prefer to use powershell but in the end of the day it doesnt matter. I spend hours on this and I can figure out how to tell the system to only update all the collections in that folder only not the rest of collections.

 

I have the commands for powershell. This will do it but I can't seem to point to a folder anywhere.

Set-CMDeviceCollection –CollectionId "P010000D" -LimitToCollectionID "SMSDM003"

 

 

PS P01:\> Get-CMDeviceCollection -name "YYZ Desktops"

Those are all powershell . Anyone has any idea how to do it as I dont see any reference in the collection properties to be under a folder.. and the wmi query I couldnt find it either...

Is this even possible..

Thanks a lot
