Now out of curosity I'm intrested in why you are doing this. &nbsp;Most customers I know in recent years have moved to consilidate their OU structures for only two purposes .. delegation of administration and application of Group Policy &nbsp;.. so I'm suprised that someone is modelling their SCCM 2007 Collections based on OU design. &nbsp;You don't have to reply, but I am curious about your reasons :)

We have SCCM SP1 and want to create the collections based on the Active Directory structure we have just remodelled. <br />

Is there a way to use AD as the collection structure and automate the update process of changes between the two....AD to SCCM, using discovery methods somehow
