Over the years, in many SCCM consulting projects that we got involved in, we get the same question: “Can you create SCCM collections for Servers, Laptops, Workstations, Windows 10…”. Back in 2015, I started to build an SCCM collection PowerShell script to create these operational collections that I create right after we do an SCCM installation. With time, I added more and more collections to the script. Today, the script contains more than 130 collections and has been downloaded more than 60 000 times making this my most downloaded contribution to the community.
This set of collections usually covers 95% of the initial client needs. All you need to do is to run the SCCM collection PowerShell script on your SCCM server and wait. After running, you’ll end up having 134 collections in an Operational folder.
The collections are set to refresh on a 7 days schedule. Once created, you can use these collections to have a quick overview of your devices. You can also use this collection to create deployment collections by using limiting collections on these ones.

SCCM COLLECTION POWERSHELL SCRIPT NOTE
The script will detect if the collection has already been created. It will give a warning and create only new collections that have been added since the last time the script is run.
If you are comfortable with editing scripts, you can comment out any unwanted collections using (#) at each line of the section.
Ex:
#$Collections +=
#$DummyObject |
#Select-Object @{L=”Name”
#; E={“Clients Version | R2 CU5″}},@{L=”Query”
#; E={“select #SMS_R_SYSTEM.ResourceID,SMS_R_SYSTEM.ResourceType,SMS_R_SYSTEM.Name,SMS_R_SYSTEM.SMSUniqueIdentifie#r,SMS_R_SYSTEM.ResourceDomainORWorkgroup,SMS_R_SYSTEM.Client from SMS_R_System
#where SMS_R_System.ClientVersion = ‘5.00.7958.1604’”}},@{L=”LimitingCollection”
#; E={$LimitingCollection}},@{L=”Comment”
#; E={“All systems with SCCM client version R2 CU5 installed”}}
#New-CMDeviceCollection -Name $Collection1.Name -LimitingCollectionName $LimitingCollection -RefreshSchedule $Schedule -RefreshType 2
#Add-CMDeviceCollectionQueryMembershipRule -CollectionName $Collection1.Name -QueryExpression $Collection1.Query -RuleName $Collection1.Name
DOWNLOAD THE SCCM COLLECTION POWERSHELL SCRIPT
The script can be downloaded from my GitHub repo.
Extra hint: You can also verify if your collection has been created properly in your collections with our Configuration Manager – Collections report. Simply sort the report by the Operational folder name
