In this tutorial, we’ll show you how to create Windows 11 24H2 device collection in SCCM. We will make use of a WQL query to group all the devices running Windows 11 version 24H2 into a collection.
This SCCM collection is essential for deploying apps and policies specific to devices running Windows 11 version 24H2. After this collection is ready, you can use it for managing applications, deploying compliance settings, or installing software updates.
Most of you are aware that Microsoft has released the Windows 11 24H2 update. It is the latest update available for Windows 11 and eligible versions of Windows 10. You may read what’s new in Windows 11 24H2 version to find out the new features.
The build number, 10.0.26100, will be used in the WQL query that we will use to create the device collection for Windows 11 24H2. That’s all you need to put the 24H2 devices into a collection.
We are going to use Configuration Manager version 2403 to create this collection. The support for 24H2 will be added with SCCM version 2409.
