System Center Configuration Manager 2007 R3

There are a few areas of focus for ConfigMgr R3, with the main engineering effort concentrating on Power Management. Here are the goals for this feature:
Power Management
The goal of this capability is to enable Configuration Manager to further reduce the operational costs of IT by providing basic power management features native to the product. Our approach is based on 3 primary areas:
A. Help the organization plan a power strategy by monitoring current power state and consumptions and reporting on machine utilization trends, current power settings and current energy consumption
B. Enable the Administrator to easily create, deploy and enforce specific power settings using the existing ConfigMgr infrastructure
−Ability to set peak and non-peak schedules
−Ability to remediate settings if changed
−Ability to opt out machines from power policy
C. Provide the business meaningful report formats that are relevant to Power Management
An effective approach to power management needs to maximize power policy deployment while minimizing the impact to the end-user. System Center Configuration Manager helps customers further reduce their operational costs by adding new in box capability to their ConfigMgr infrastructure, and by seamlessly enabling power management client agent services to their existing Collection landscape.
In addition to power management, ConfigMgr R3 will provide customers with enhanced scale and performance support above current numbers.

Collection of Computers based on Users

Collection of Computers based on Users

 

SMS has a nice feature that allows you to create a collection based on users. That way when a users logs into a computer SMS will then run an advertisement for whatever computer they are on. The problem is maybe you want to have a collection of computers not the users. The worst flaw this the collection query I have created below and using collections based on users is that if a person logs in to another machine, for whatever reason, SMS will find them and push software to them.
That in mind, here is a collection that will take any OU group of users and create a collection of computers.


---------------------------------------
select SMS_R_System.ResourceID,SMS_R_System.ResourceType,SMS_R_System.Name,SMS_R_System.SMSUniqueIdentifier,SMS_R_System.ResourceDomainORWorkgroup,SMS_R_System.Client from SMS_R_System inner join SMS_G_System_COMPUTER_SYSTEM on SMS_G_System_COMPUTER_SYSTEM.ResourceID = SMS_R_System.ResourceId where SMS_G_System_COMPUTER_SYSTEM.UserName in (select UniqueUserName from SMS_R_User where UserOUName = "xxxx /SECURITY USERS & GROUPS" )
--------------------------------------
Windows User account and group discovery must be enabled and run on your server to use this.

How does this work. It first grabs the list of users. Then matches them to the comptuers that SMS currently sees them logged into. To change this to Last Logged in user you need to change the SMS_G_System_Computer_System to SMS_R_System.LastLogonUserName for computers. This will give you last logged in user.

"Limit to Collection" for all your computer Workstations or further limit it to based on departments

If you don't know what group then you can create a query of just (select UniqueUserName from SMS_R_User where UserOUName = "") click values until you have the value you need and paste it into the larger query.
