- [Instructor] We're going to create a user group,…but before we do that, we're in Active Directory…Users and Computers, and we're in our Accounting OU.…Inside the Account OU we see an Accounting group…and Staff1 and Staff2.…We want to create a user group that…has these two staff members in it…so we can then push out software to them…in the future.…Let's go back to System Center Configuration Manager…and get that started.…We're in SCCM, and as you can see,…there are user collections that are already there.…
So what is a user collection?…Well, collections in System Center Configuration Manager…provide a method of managing groups of computers,…mobile devices, users, and other resources…in your organization.…A user collection is only applied to users,…regardless of what device from which they log in.…However, a device collection, which we did in…a previous video, is applied to devices,…regardless of which user logs in.…So in order to get our user collection to work properly,…we need to turn some things on that are off by default.…
