When installing ConfigMgr 2007, there are many default collections in the console. Most collections will be never used actually. Only the "All Systems" is handy for recognizing all devices. Best thing is to move the default collections to a new collection. How this works I will explain in this blog.

When I'm implementing ConfigMgr 2007 at customers, default collections are almost not used. Only the "All Systems" is handy for recognizing devices. Mostly I create collections for existing or new Active Directory OU's. (for example: Desktops, Laptops, VDI). When devices are placed in this OU's you can browse for this. Use "Active Directory System Group Discovery" for that, and the query can be created.

Not many people are aware that the Microsoft Active Directory has properties for pictures. This means that it's possible to add mugshots from people to your AD.
