Dynamic collection evaluation in Configuration Manager 2007 R3 periodically scans for new resources and updates a collections membership with only these new resources, independently of a full collection evaluation. When enabled for a collection, dynamic collection evaluation runs every 5 minutes and when used in conjunction with full collection evaluation can help keep collection data displayed in the administrator console more up-to-date.

Note
The information in this topic applies only to Configuration Manager 2007 R3.
Important
Dynamic collection evaluation does not replace full collection evaluation; it only evaluates newly added resources.
