Learn how to fix ConfigMgr Client Notifications sent to all Collection Members even if you initiate an action for one device from that collection. This hotfix is applicable to all the ConfigMgr 2010 environments including both early update rings and globally available.
Microsoft released the SCCM opt-in version of 2010 on Nov 30th, 2020. You can learn more about the new features of the ConfigMgr 2010 production version. Let’s get more details from Top 5 New Features of SCCM 2010 | ConfigMgr.
Introduction
The following are the details of the issue with the notification service in ConfigMgr version 2010.
Selecting a subset of devices in the collection membership view of the ConfigMgr console and choosing an option under Client Notification results in all collection members receiving the notification.
For example, after selecting one device in a collection and choosing the Restart option, all collection members receive the notification instead of just the selected device.
This hotfix is applicable only to the server-side. There is no client-side update for the hotfix KB4594177. Hence you won’t be able to see the following option in the Configuration Manager Updates Wizard similar to Client Update Settings.
