SCCM 2103 has been released on April 5th, 2021. Now when you look within Device Collections you should see your new query and hopefully, you’ll see populated with servers that are running Windows Server 2022.Microsoft has released a first SCCM version for 2021. You should now be back with the Create Device Collection Wizard, ensure you configure the schedule for updating the collection to what makes sense for your organization.įinish walking through the wizard to complete the creation of it. You can find this Operating System Version number in a number of ways, the way I prefer is to run systeminfo on the server in question and take a note of the version number returned: This query will look for any system within your environment with the Operation System Version 8 (aka Windows Server 2022) and include them in the query. Select SMS_R_SYSTEM.ResourceID,SMS_R_SYSTEM.ResourceType,SMS_R_SYSTEM.Name,SMS_R_SYSTEM.SMSUniqueIdentifier,SMS_R_SYSTEM.ResourceDomainORWorkgroup,SMS_R_SYSTEM.Client from SMS_R_System inner join SMS_G_System_OPERATING_SYSTEM on SMS_G_System_OPERATING_SYSTEM.ResourceID = SMS_R_System.ResourceId where SMS_G_System_OPERATING_SYSTEM.Version = '8' When the next dialog box appears click on “ Show Query Language”

Give the query an appropriate name and then select “ Edit Query Statement”. The next step is to setup define a membership rule, I am going to use a Query Rule to specify which servers belong in this collection.

For my needs I select “ All Systems” as the limiting collection but specify the collection that would make sense for you. When the Wizard opens give the collection a name and any relevant comment for future reference. Within your MECM Console navigate to Assets and Compliance > Device Collections and right click to Create a new Device Collection. I thought I would document the process for others and my own future reference.

Please note you need to be running at least version 2107 of MECM to have support for Windows Server 2022. With the release of Windows Server 2022 I was deploying a new server into a Microsoft Endpoint Configuration Manager lab that I have for certain scenarios and one of the tasks I wanted to do was create a Device Collection within my MECM lab for that Windows Server and any future ones.
