Description

Use this cmdlet to configure a device or user collection.

The limiting collection determines which resources can be a member of the collection. For instance, when you use the All Systems collection as the limiting collection, the new collection can include any device in the Configuration Manager hierarchy.

Add resources to the collection with membership rules. To add members to the collection, use one of the cmdlets to add membership rules, for example:

You can't configure default collections. Any collection that you target should have an ID that starts with the site code, not SMS.

For more information, see How to create 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: Rename a collection

The first command gets the collection object named testUser and stores it in the $userCollection variable.

The second command updates the name of the collection.

$userCollection = Get-CMCollection -Name "testUser"
Set-CMCollection -InputObject $userCollection -NewName "newTestUser"

Parameters

-CollectionId

Specify the ID of the collection to configure. This value is the CollectionID property, for example, XYZ00012. You can't configure default collections, so this value starts with the site code, not SMS.

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

-Comment

Specify an optional comment to describe and identify this collection.

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

-Confirm

Prompts you for confirmation before running the cmdlet.

Type:SwitchParameter
Aliases:cf
Position:Named
Default value:False
Required:False
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 configure. To get this object, use the Get-CMCollection, Get-CMDeviceCollection, or Get-CMUserCollection cmdlets.

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

-LimitingCollection

Specify an object for the limiting collection. To get this object, use the Get-CMCollection, Get-CMDeviceCollection, or Get-CMUserCollection cmdlets.

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

-LimitingCollectionId

Specify the ID of the limiting collection. This value is the CollectionID property, for example, XYZ00012 or SMS00001.

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

-LimitingCollectionName

Specify the name of the limiting collection.

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

-Name

Specify the name of a collection to configure.

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

-NewName

Specify a new name for the collection. Use this parameter to rename it.

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

-PassThru

Add this parameter to return an object that represents the item with which you're working. By default, this cmdlet may not generate any output.

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

-RefreshSchedule

If you set the RefreshType parameter to either Periodic or Both, use this parameter to set the schedule. Specify a schedule object for when the site runs a full update of the collection membership. To get this object, use the New-CMSchedule cmdlet.

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

-RefreshType

Specify how the collection membership is updated:

  • Manual (1): An administrator manually triggers a membership update in the Configuration Manager console or with the Invoke-CMCollectionUpdate cmdlet.
  • Periodic (2): The site does a full update on a schedule. It doesn't use incremental updates. If you don't specify a type, this value is the default.
  • Continuous (4): The site periodically evaluates new resources and then adds new members. This type is also known as an incremental update. It doesn't do a full update on a schedule.
  • Both (6): A combination of both Periodic and Continuous, with both incremental updates and a full update on a schedule.

If you specify either Periodic or Both, use the RefreshSchedule parameter to set the schedule.

Note

The None value (0) is functionally the same as Manual.

Type:CollectionRefreshType
Accepted values:None, Manual, Periodic, Continuous, Both
Position:Named
Default value:None
Required:False
Accept pipeline input:False
Accept wildcard characters:False

-VariablePriority

Specify an integer value from 1-9 for the priority of device collection variables. 1 is the lowest priority, and 9 is the highest.

To configure variables on a device collection, use the Set-CMDeviceCollectionVariable cmdlet.

To view the current variable priority, use the Get-CMCollectionSetting cmdlet.

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

-WhatIf

Shows what would happen if the cmdlet runs. The cmdlet doesn't run.

Type:SwitchParameter
Aliases:wi
Position:Named
Default value:False
Required:False
Accept pipeline input:False
Accept wildcard characters:False
