Show Collections - Advanced

The Show Collections - Advanced tool lets a console user view information about the collections to which a device belongs. This tool can be run on single devices or multi-selected devices, but not on a device collection.

This tool uses Remote WMI.

To run this tool:

1. Right-click on a device.

2. Select Right Click Tools > Client Tools > Show Collections - Advanced.

Running the action returns the following information for each collection:

• Collections: Folder, Collection ID
• Collection Variables: Folder, Variable Name, Value (if not hidden)
• Maintenance Windows: Folder, Maintenance Window Name, Description of maintenance schedule, Applies To, Start Time, Duration, Enabled (T/F)
• Power Plans: Folder, Apply Settings, Peak Plan Start/End/Duration, Peak Plan Name, Non-Peak Plan Name, Wakeup Time

To remove a device from a collection, right-click on the device on the Collections tab and click Remove from Collection.

Recast Permissions

Microsoft Permissions

• This action requires that the user has permissions in ConfigMgr to read properties about collections and remove devices from a collection. If using a Recast proxy to route actions, the same permissions are required for the service account.
