System Center 2012 Configuration Manager Unleashed

Include Rule

The include rule is a new rule type in ConfigMgr 2012 used to include all members of a different collection. For example, you may have two collections, one for all New York systems and one for all Los Angeles systems. You could make a third collection named All US Systems and create two include rules, one for New York and one for Los Angeles. This allows the All US Systems collection to dynamically update based on the rules for the New York and Los Angeles collections. Membership of this collection will be updated if the membership of an included collection has changed.
