NEW Select Device Collection in Task Sequence

[alexdev50]

Hello everyone,

Slowly building up our SCCM deployment and I am looking in to moving a device in to a specific device collection within a task sequence. I followed this post about computer naming:

Easy Way to Prompt Computer name during SCCM OSD

You can configure the client to prompt computer name during SCCM OSD without using any scripts. You can set the computer name prompt during OSD using SCCM

This worked and I love it but I am wondering if it is possible to create a second variable to allow me to either pick from existing groups or just name the group itself and have it automatically put in there during provsioning? I appreciate the help.

As far as i know there is no out of the box solution for assigning device collection on the client side while in task sequence.
Device collections are assigned by the server and a change of membership rules need to be commited to the server.

There is a solution by Onevinn called TSCommander which promises to do such things. https://onevinn.schrewelius.it/Apps01.html. I haven't used it by now but I know that it exists.

I don't know what you want to acomplish with group assigning while in task sequence but consider to set parameters on your device that can be evaluated via a collection query later. Using this method you don't need to give your clients in a task sequence access to your site server. It's slower but in my opinion more secure.
