Introduction to Collections in Configuration Manager
Collections in System Center 2012 Configuration Manager represent logical groupings of resources, such as users and devices. You can use collections tohelp you perform many tasks, such as managing applications, deploying compliance settings, or installing software updates. You can also use collections to manage groups of client settings.
Query Rule
Query rules dynamically update the membership of a collection based on a query that Configuration Manager runs on a schedule. For example, you can create a collection of users who are a member of the Human Resources organizational unit in Active Directory Domain Services. Unlike direct rule collections, thiscollection membership automatically updates when you add or remove new users to the Human Resources organizational unit.

Planning for Client Settings in Configuration Manager
Use client settings in System Center 2012 Configuration Manager to configure userand device settings for the hierarchy. Client settings include configuration options such as the hardware inventory and schedule, and the polling schedule for client policy.
All Configuration Manager clients in the hierarchy use the Default ClientSettings that are automatically created when you install Configuration Manager. However, you can modify the default client settings and you can create custom client settings to override the default client settings for specific users or devices.
