Description

Use this cmdlet to get members of a collection. Collections can include devices or users, but not both. When you query a collection, this cmdlet returns objects for all members.

For more information, see Introduction to collections in Configuration Manager.

Note

Run Configuration Manager cmdlets from the Configuration Manager site drive, for example PS XYZ:\>. For more information, see getting started.

Examples

Example 1: Get a member of a collection by using the pipeline operator

This command first uses the Get-CMCollection cmdlet to get the collection object named UserCol1. It then uses the pipeline operator to pass the object to Get-CMCollectionMember, which gets all members in the collection. Finally, this example uses the Select-Object cmdlet to only display the member names.

Get-CMCollection -Name "UserCol1" | Get-CMCollectionMember | Select-Object Name

Example 2: Get a member of a collection by name

This command queries the collection DeviceCol1 for members that have a name beginning with domain. The asterisk (*) wildcard matches multiple characters. So results can include names such as "domain1" or "domain-controller".

Get-CMCollectionMember -CollectionName "DeviceCol1" -Name "domain*"

Example 3: Export collection details to a CSV

This example queries the XYZ0004B device collection for a set of properties and stores that in the variable, $collMem. The second line converts that data into comma-separated value (CSV) format, and outputs to a file.

$collMem = Get-CMCollectionMember -CollectionId "XYZ0004B" | Select-Object Name,Domain,LastLogonUser,DeviceOS,DeviceOSBuild,MACAddress,SerialNumber
$collMem | ConvertTo-Csv -NoTypeInformation | Out-File -FilePath "C:\output\XYZ0004B.csv"

Parameters

-CollectionId

Specify the ID of a collection to query. For example, "XYZ0004B".

Type:String
Position:Named
Default value:None
Required:True
Accept pipeline input:False
Accept wildcard characters:False

-CollectionName

Specify the name of a collection to query.

Type:String
Position:Named
Default value:None
Required:True
Accept pipeline input:False
Accept wildcard characters:False

-DisableWildcardHandling

This parameter treats wildcard characters as literal character values. You can't combine it with ForceWildcardHandling.

Type:SwitchParameter
Position:Named
Default value:None
Required:False
Accept pipeline input:False
Accept wildcard characters:False

-ForceWildcardHandling

This parameter processes wildcard characters and may lead to unexpected behavior (not recommended). You can't combine it with DisableWildcardHandling.

Type:SwitchParameter
Position:Named
Default value:None
Required:False
Accept pipeline input:False
Accept wildcard characters:False

-InputObject

Specify a collection object to query. To get a collection object, use one of the following cmdlets:

You can also use the pipeline operator (|) to pass a collection object to Get-CMCollectionMemeber on the command line.

Type:IResultObject
Aliases:Collection
Position:Named
Default value:None
Required:True
Accept pipeline input:True
Accept wildcard characters:False

-Name

To filter the results, specify the name of a resource in the collection. This filter isn't case-sensitive.

You can use wildcard characters:

  • *: Multiple characters
  • ?: Single character
Type:String
Aliases:ResourceName
Position:Named
Default value:None
Required:False
Accept pipeline input:False
Accept wildcard characters:True

-ResourceId

To filter the results, specify a resource ID. For example, 16777242. The cmdlet only returns a record for that resource in the targeted collection.

Type:Int32
Position:Named
Default value:None
Required:False
Accept pipeline input:False
Accept wildcard characters:False

-SmsId

To filter the results, specify the SMSID of a resource. For example, "GUID:7a186367-7372-4841-889e-ba2e3aad1e85". This filter isn't case-sensitive.

You can use wildcard characters:

  • *: Multiple characters
  • ?: Single character
Type:String
Position:Named
Default value:None
Required:False
Accept pipeline input:False
Accept wildcard characters:True
