So I have a device collection to show all my Windows 8 machines. We name our computers with either a 7 or 8 at the end to signify this so I simply set a query to see if the Computer Name ends with an 8. It pulled in all the existing machines just fine.
I have two issues with new machines.
1) I setup a new machine whose name ends with an 8 and shows up in the main Device list. However, I ran the Update Membership option for the collection and it didn't pull it in. I tested it by opening the properties of the collection and going to add a Direct Query and typing %8, it doesn't show up in the results list.
I don't know where it pulls the data from but I'm assuming something just hasn't updated everywhere it needs to. Is there some way I can force something to refresh so that the new computer shows up?
2) I also setup a test machine whose name does not end with an 8, but I manually right clicked it and assigned it to the same collection. When I view the collection properties it shows me the regular query expression and the direct query that lists the computer name of the test PC. However, that PC is not showing up in the membership list.
I'm trying to test some software deployments so I need to get the machines showing up in the proper collections.
Any suggestions would be great.
Thanks!
