All Systems collection - query JUST machines discovered... - 9/16/2008 12:15:03 PM

Status: offline 		Hey Everyone,

I'm trying to figure out a way to create an "All Systems" collection that ONLY contains machines from the daily AD scan.  My goal is to have a collection that is free of the stragglers that have been deleted from AD or are not a part of the domain.  I have tried filtering by domain but that seems to leave out the machines that have corrupted or no client (I need to see those so I can fix them).  I have been successful in doing this by creating a collection that contained other collections filtered by OU, but this can become administratively cumbersome when new OU's are added to AD.  Basically, I'm looking for the easiest way to create a collection that includes only the machines discovered by the AD scan the previous night (I'm guessing).

If you have any ideas on how I can accomplish this I'd love to hear them....

Thanks in advance...

J

Status: offline 		I've run across that before and it looks like a great product, but upper management doesn't really want to shell out the bucks at this time .  There has to be a "fairly" simple way to do this via a regular query based group, right?

I'm not looking to filter on machine last access date in AD or anything like that.  If I could just get the riff raff out that is not in AD scan I would be happy.

Thanks for the reply!
