An option to prevent collections from being accidently deleted, like AD ou's.
An option to prevent collections from being accidently deleted, like AD ou's. It is still to easy to remove a collection. (yes, i am experienced.)

It would be really nice to be able to see a list of the collections that are limited to a specific collection with a tab on the properties of that collection.

Exclude Query within Membership Rules
Currently you have Direct Rule, Query Rule and Include/Exclude collections, could this be ‘redesigned’ to allow exclude on query and possibly direct rule?
This will prevent the requirement to create an additional collection to exclude objects from a collection.

maintenance windows: skip date or add an end date
I'd like a possibility to exclude some date from the maintenance windows schedule, or add an "effective end date" after wich the MW would stop.
my scenario
windows every two week on Thursday, I'm asked to skip the next one due to exams or other reason (school environment.) several time a year.
right now I change the effective start date for after those event, but I can't do it too much in advance, or there won't be any maintenance until this new effective date.
and if I do it too late, then the computers may not receive the new settings…4 votes -
collection view
When creating a collection you can specify which columns to show. If you leave this blank ConfigMgr will use a default set of columns. In ConfigMgr 1511 however it will always revert back to the default columns...
When we specify which columns to show it should only show those.
E.G. have a collection of Windows 10 devices and the columns could show Name (name of the client) and OS build number (10240, 10586 or 1507, 1511 etc.)6 votes -
To be able to search a computer using Mac address Or searching computers which have specific memory available in the devices collection
To be able to search for computer / device which binds to a specific Mac address or to search the Mac address of a computer by typing the computer name in the preview pane rather than doing a query.
If we type a computer name in the search it could show the Mac address of the system or vice versa (without being able to put it in a query) and be able to delete the resource from there if needed.
It can take more time to show all the properties but there are software's which show the details of a…

Collections Set to incremental (Report)
With MS recommended that no more then 200 collections are set to incremental, I would like to see a report on \Assets and Compliance\ Overview\ page that shows how many collections you have, how many are full update, how many are incremental, and how many are manual.

Enable additional system properties as a column choice in device collections
You cannot add some system resource properties as a column in a device collection. Example "Last Logon User Name". I know you can create a custom console, but would be nice to have out of the box.

When Creating a Deployment, Allow the Collection Search to Include Site-Wide, not Just the Root
Currently when we create a deployment it asks for the collection. When we browse for the collection defaults to the root. I would like it to do a site-wide search for the collection as we start to type. This will save a lot of time rather than searching through all folders.

Increase performance of incremental collections so that the best practice limit of 200 can be increased
Incremental collections are an invaluable component of Configuration Manager 2012 that is unfortunately held back by the performance implications of having too many (based on the best practice limit of 200). While the -need- for frequent updating collections was reduced based on an applications conditions, there is still an industry preference to manage application availability using Active Directory groups. As a result, the number of collections potentially benefiting from incremental collection updates is high. I work around this by parsing collections that reference AD groups, checking if they've been updated recently and then requesting collections updates of relevant collections. This…

Removal of 'Update flag' in the collections' properties should work
To remove the 'Update' flag within the property window of a collection isn't enough to stop the update. You need to set the schedule to 'none'. --> To remove the Update Flag should be enough.

When creating new collection disable scheduled membership update by default
Today, when creating new collection the scheduled membership update is set to every 7 days by Default without any user interaction.
IMHO it would be better to keep this schedule setting disabled by Default and let the user decide if it should be actiavted or not.
This might prevent performance issues caused by too many scheduled and unnecessary membership updates.1 vote -
Paste unedited Excel columns into Add Resources
If you want to build a collection from an Excel report, you must currently do something like ="""" & A1 & """," to get the proper formatting for Add Resources. Making Add Resources flexible enough to accept a straight copy-paste from an Excel column of computer names would streamline this.

Bring back SubCollections
SCCM 2012 got rid of subcollections. You can fake it by creating collections-of-collections but they're a pain to maintain. Please bring them back.

Add the ability to trend result count of a collection
Many of us deal with applications that have strict licensing. When I think of how to do it, you could do it in AI maybe and have it not do across all installed applications but have it as a possibility on a discovered application... Right click the application (TREND), that would spur the auto creation of a collection, report item, a stored procedure.... The stored procedure would simply do a count of the number of devices in the collection and write that out to the installed application trending table. So now I have the ability to not only show how…

Create subnet Id collections from discovery
Ranges are bad, so why is that the only type of collection created from discovery?

Delete Collection UI Issue
When an administrative user who does not have permission to delete resources tries to delete a collection, the confirmation UI displayed reads as though the resources WILL be deleted due to the missing checkbox. Perhaps changing the UI so that the checkbox is there but grey'd out as unchecked or remove the "Delete each collection member from the database" text.
