Create collection in Configuration Manager

Once the Autopilot for existing devices task sequence is created, the next step is to create a collection in Configuration Manager to deploy the task sequence to the target devices.

Note

If a collection with the desired devices to target already exists, then this step can be skipped. Proceed to the step Deploy Autopilot task sequence to collection in Configuration Manager.

To create the Autopilot for existing devices task sequence in Configuration Manager, follow these steps:

  1. On a device where the Configuration Manager console is installed, such as a Configuration Manager site server, open the Configuration Manager console.

  2. In the left hand pane of the Configuration Manager console, navigate to Assets and Compliance > Overview.

  3. Select Device Collections.

  4. In the ribbon, select Create, and then select Create Device Collection. As an alternative, right-click on Device Collections, and then select Create Device Collection.

  5. In the Create Device Collection Wizard window that appears:

    1. In the Specify details for this collection page, configure the following settings:

      1. Next to Name:, enter a desired name for the collection. For example, Autopilot for existing devices.

      2. Next to Comment:, if desired, add an optional comment to further describe the collection

      3. Next to Limiting collection:, select the Browse button. In the Select Collection window that appears, select a desired collection to limit this collection to. To not limit this collection, select the All Systems collection. Once the desired collection is selected, select the OK button.

      4. Select the Next > button.

    2. In the Define membership rules for this collection page, via the Add Rule drop-down menu, create a rule that includes the desired devices to run the Autopilot for existing devices task sequence. For more information on creating rules for a collection to include the desired devices, see How to create collections in Configuration Manager. Once the appropriate rules are created that include the desired devices, select the Next > button.

    3. In the Confirm the settings page, verify that everything is configured as desired, and then select the Next > button.

    4. When the Create Device Collection Wizard completes with The task "Create Device Collection Wizard" completed successfully message, select the Close button.

  6. With Device Collections still selected, select F5 on the keyboard to refresh the list of collections in the right pane. Verify that the newly created collection appears. If it doesn't appear, wait a few minutes, and then try to refresh again. Depending on the environment, it might take some time for the newly created collection to appear.

  7. Once the newly created collection appears, open it by double-clicking on it. Alternatively, to open the collection, right-click on the collection and then select Show Members. The members of the collection appear in the right pane.

  8. Verify that the listed devices are the expected devices for the collection that should receive the Autopilot for existing devices task sequence.
