Good Morning. The new SCCM 1810 update fixed the deployment of office 365 and uninstall of Microsoft products that would prevent office 365 from being installed. However , now i face an even more menacing issue. machines picked up in SCCM that show that they do not have a client installed are receiving the installation. i can send a deployment to specific machines in a collection and so far more than 10 machines that were not placed in the collection and show in SCCm as not having the sccm client installed have received the installation. When i go an check the machines they show that they have the sccm client installed however . The important point i am making is that they show up as not having the client installed in SCCM and also they were not a part of the DEVICE collection i sent the application install out to. Please help me as this is causing alot of issues. Why are machines i am not sending this install to receiving it and why do they have the sccm client installed but when i check in the config console it shows as if they dont have it installed.
