    There is a checkbox for boundaries that instruct clients in that boundary to prefer management points in that boundary group. Does this address your feedback? It is not the same as hard-coding (it's just a preference) but it should address the most common scenarios with wanting clients in a specific boundary group to use a certain management point.

    AdminAdam Meltzer (ConfigMgr Product Team) (Software Engineer, System Center Configuration Manager) commented  · 

    We have a concept of MP affinity. You can either force a client to use a specific MP via the "AllowedMPs" registry key, or through a site server setting. See https://blogs.technet.microsoft.com/jchalfant/management-point-affinity-added-in-configmgr-2012-r2-cu3/.

    Does this address your feedback?

    Thank you. This looks like a site-server style log which we should support but there may be something special about it that we're not properly processing. We will investigate further.

    By "turn off this feature" do you mean not have them visible in the console? Or are you referring to something more in-depth.

    Can you provide an example of what you're seeing versus what the expected behavior is for name collisions?

    As far as the -ErrorVariable behavior, that may be by design due to how PowerShell works but I'd like more details about what you're seeing so I can confirm.

    Understood. The problem is that the Hyper-V default switch is adding another IP address that's creating an overlapping boundary. I'll move this out of By Design to Noted to keep it on the radar so we can look into possible ways to improve this in the future.

    Updating title to reflect the request here

    AdminAdam Meltzer (ConfigMgr Product Team) (Software Engineer, System Center Configuration Manager) commented  · 

    Save-CMSoftwareUpdate is the cmdlet that is meant to accomplish this scenario. You can use -Location to specify the download location.

    Can you elaborate on the workflow in the administrator console that you cannot complete with Save-CMSoftwareUpdate?

  15. Printing of collections. Or output to Excel spreadsheet.

    You could pretty easily do this with PowerShell.

    Something like

    Get-CMCollectionMember -CollectionName "All Systems" | ConvertTo-Csv | Out-File -FilePath C:\MySystems.csv

    Could you provide a few more details about the specific scenario in the console that you're trying to accomplish? It's not immediately clear to me.

    Thanks!

    Have you considered automating this in PowerShell?

    Get-CMSiteComponent | Select ComponentName, SiteCode | ForEach { Clear-CMComponentStatusMessageCount -ComponentName $_.ComponentName -SiteCode $_.SiteCode -Severity All }

    (Note: it will take a couple of minutes for the console to reflect the cleared counts)

    I see this was filed under "Reporting" but reporting uses SQL, not WQL. Can you provide more information on the scenario you're trying to accomplish?
