Description

Use this cmdlet to add an exclude membership rule to a device collection. An exclude membership rule excludes the members of another collection from the device collections 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 exclude a default collection, so the ID of an excluded collection can start with SMS.

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

When you add an exclude membership rule to a collection, a resource may no longer be a member of the device collection. This action can cause any software or configuration deployment to not apply to a device.

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 exclude collection rule to a device collection

This command excludes the members of the All Mobile Devices default collection, which has the ID SMSDM001, from the device collection ID XYZ00012.

Add-CMDeviceCollectionExcludeMembershipRule -CollectionId "XYZ00012" -ExcludeCollectionId "SMSDM001"

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 exclude membership rules, this ID starts with the site code and not SMS.

Accept pipeline input:	False
Accept wildcard characters:	False

-ExcludeCollectionId

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