Using SCCM Queries - step by step document

Here is an Excellent Document I found on the Internet shared by questnet.edu which details on how to use the 'Queries' feature in SCCM Console.

Queries are run against SCCM site's database and retrieve specific data according to the criteria of the query. SMS provides many predefined queries, and if required, we can create additional queries.

Query-based collections are dynamic objects. If a resource no longer meets the collection's query, it is automatically removed from the collection. And if a resource that originally did not meet the collection's query has changed in a way that it now meets the collection's query, it is automatically added to the collection. This behavior greatly reduces and simplifies the administrative work of managing the clients.
