Query based versus Direct membership: Direct membership rules should be created when you want to target a very specific user or SMS client. Direct membership rules are not automatically updatable; therefore, any change of targeted resources is a manual process. If a targeted resource(workstation) is removed from the site database, the associated direct membership rules will be deleted from all collections. For example, if the workstation ESKON00 is a resource, and ESKON00 ages out of the site database(removed) for any reason, all direct membership rules referring to ESKON00 will also be Deleted. If ESKON00 is later rediscovered or inventoried, the…
