Troubleshooting Collection Queries

If you want to see what collections have bad queries use CEViewer.exe from the ConfigMgr 2012 R2 Toolkit, it is installed when you add the server tools.

Some things I have found about queries:

  • The OR operator can slow a query down alot when using it for 2 different attributes, just create 2 membership rules instead. The following changed the evaluation time from 1400 to 27 seconds. I still feel it's slow but doing more investigations

Changed to:
coll3 coll4 coll5

  • If you know what you are looking for exactly don't be lazy and use the like operator, use is equal to.
  • Don't edit queries with live deployments.
