    Is this something that the UI lets you do?

    Thank you for your feedback. Out of curiosity, in what scenarios would you find this functionality useful?

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

    I merged several of similar ADR requests. If you find anymore that I missed, please let me know.

    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?

  8. 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?

    Can you expand more on the scenario you're asking for? Is there an equivalent flow in the administrator console?

    I wanted to note that if your goal is true network isolation, you can use the AllowedMPs registry key to largely work around the problems with this configuration without needing a secondary site.

    See https://blogs.technet.microsoft.com/jchalfant/management-point-affinity-added-in-configmgr-2012-r2-cu3/

    This is more of a blunt instrument than the MP affinity added in 2012 SP2 but it's also highly effective for restricted networks to ensure that the clients only use a specific list of MPs.
