How to Deploy SCCM Client to a Collection?

Hello,



We do have site wide client push set up to install the client to Workstations only. For servers, we have chosen to deploy the SCCM client in a "control way". I have an AD group "Server client deploy". I created a collection based on this AD group. My team would add selected servers to this AD group. I pushed out the client to this "Server client deploy" collection. However, every time new members are added to the AD group and show up in the SCCM Collection, the client is not installed automatically. I have to manually push out the client to the collection again.



How do I deploy SCCM client to a specific collection so that whenever a new member is added, the client is installed automatically?



Thank you in advance for your help/advise!

There's no automatic, direct way to achieve what you want using built-in functionality.

Alternatives that I can think of include the following:

  • Use a startup script deployed from AD that targets a specific OU where these systems are added that runs the client install.

  • Use a scheduled task that runs a script against the collection to kick off client push.

  • Use the software update point client installation method targeted to specific OUs
