That seems to occur at least if you just add the computer into the OSD collection by MAC address using “Import computer, single computer” task, do not refresh any collection memberships in the console or the console views and just PXE boot the computer up.First published on TechNet on Jul 27, 2014 Either it just doesn’t run the script at all (unlikely) or the script does not complete successfully.

So, the status filter seems to work like supposed, but the next event logged by the script only appears randomly, even for the same computer in the same collection. “On 14:44:26, component Task Sequence Manager on computer reported: The task sequence manager successfully completed execution of the task sequence.” Status filter rule creates an event log event like this: Most of the time it works, but sometimes it just leaves the computer in the collection. Thanks for the script, it’s just what I needed to easily create “permanent” OSD collections where computers can be rejoined if needed to reinstall. When that is done, complete the steps below to configure the status filter rule. I have removed the script code from this blog and made it available as a file instead, to avoid problems when cut/pasting the text.ĭownload the script and save it as “remove.vbs” edit the following line with the collection/collections you want the computer removed from The script have been updated with the possibility to enter more than one collection to remove the computer from, it can also write an event to the event-log on the SCCM server with the name of the computer and the collection/collections it will be removed from.

I have seen at customers that some third party applications created direct memberships with a different naming convention than the SCCM Admin Console does, this updated script will solve this problem. I have updated the script to search for active computer records in SCCM using the name and then removing the computer from the collection using the ResourceID instead of using the name for matching. This can be achieved by using a status filter rule together with a VBscript which removes the computer from the collection once the Task Sequence completes successfully. The OSD task sequence advertisement can then be set to always rerun and all problems related to reinstalling an existing computer is solved. When using a mandatory OSD advertisement to install a Operating system it is a great benefit to remove the computer from the Collection to where the OS deployment is advertised.
