SUMMARY
This article discusses some considerations that apply when you install the Active Directory/Systems Management Server (SMS) Collection Synchronization tools in your hierarchy. The Active Directory/SMS Collection Synchronization tools may cause issues with collection processing if the tools are not installed on all sites in your hierarchy.



MORE INFORMATION
You can use the Active Directory/SMS Collection Synchronization tools to automate the creation and the maintenance of SMS collections based on domains and organizational units in Active Directory. To populate these changes into the database throughout your hierarchy, you must install the Active Directory/SMS Collection Synchronization tools on all the connected sites in your SMS hierarchy.

If you do not install the Active Directory/SMS Collection Synchronization Tools on all your servers, you may experience slower-than-normal collection processing. Additionally, you may receive collection error messages at child sites where you have not installed the Active Directory/SMS Collection Synchronization Tools.
