Add Devices to Collection(s) — Client Tool on Collection

The Add Devices to Collection(s) tool adds single or multi-selected devices to a specified device collection. Options are available for searching based on name rather than ResourceID.

1. In your Configuration Manager console, right-click on a device collection.

2. Click Right Click Tools > Collection Tools > Add Devices to Collection(s).

3. In the window that opens, specify devices to add and click Start.

• If a Recast Management Server is being used with a proxy, the service account also needs these permissions.
