Description

Use this cmdlet to add an include membership rule to a device collection. An include membership rule includes the members of another collection to the device collection where the rule is applied.

You can't add membership rules to default collections. Any collection that you target should have an ID that starts with the site code, not SMS. You can include a default collection, so the ID of an included collection can start with SMS.

Configuration Manager dynamically updates the membership of the device collection on a schedule if the membership of the included collection changes.

When you add an include membership rule to a collection, resources may become members of the collection. This action can cause any software or configuration deployment to apply to devices in the included collection.

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: Add an include membership rule

This command adds the device collection named All Systems with an include membership rule. The rule is added to the device collection named Device.

Add-CMDeviceCollectionIncludeMembershipRule -CollectionName "Device" -IncludeCollectionName "All Systems"

Example 2: Add an include membership rule to a collection by using the pipeline

This command first uses the Get-CMCollection cmdlet to get the target collection object named Device. It then uses the pipeline operator to pass the object to the Add-CMDeviceCollectionIncludeMembershipRule cmdlet, which adds an include membership rule for the device collection named All Systems.

Get-CMCollection -Name "Device" | Add-CMDeviceCollectionIncludeMembershipRule -IncludeCollectionName "All Systems"

Parameters

-CollectionId

Specify the ID of the device collection to add the rule. This value is the CollectionID property, for example, XYZ00012. Since default collections don't have include membership rules, this ID starts with the site code and not SMS.

Type:String
Aliases:Id
Position:Named
Default value:None

-CollectionName

Specify the name of the device collection to add the rule.

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

-IncludeCollectionId

Specify the ID of the included collection to add to the rule. This value is the CollectionID property, for example, XYZ00012. You can include default collections, so this value can start with either the site code or SMS.

Position:Named
Default value:None
Required:True
Accept pipeline input:True
