Once I turned off delta discovery for groups, users and systems, I stopped 
getting these sql errors. And the collection’s stopped pausing every 45 
minutes. We have recently replaced a domain controller and imported a lot old 
user records into AD(we are not discovering those but sure if it affected 
anything) We have an open support case with MS but haven’t found out anything 
yet. After turning the delta discovery back on the pausing for collection 
updating continued…. I also found this article which directed me to sql and 
having dups in the database that can’t be deleted?!?! Jeffery were you ever 
able to turn delta discovery back on?

I have certainly seen scenarios where delta can take longer to run than full 
discovery.  There was an update released but I think it went into R2

We have had some real issues with discovery processing excessive entries - we 
had an OU with 7,500 groups of which we were "only" interested in 1800.

Sometimes (and for no apparent reason discovery seems to trigger huge TEMPDB 
activity which then replicates and cascades to the primaries.

Not that I remember.  It was an issue that had just been nagging at me for some 
time.  I was finally able to gather some SQL stats during one of the pauses in 
the collection evaluator and was able to narrow it down to the delta discovery 
while discussing the issue with a consultant we had on site for another 
engagement.  I had tried several increasing values in the delta polling 
interval, which only seemed to change the frequency with which we saw the 
collection evaluator pause.  I’ve seen this on both ConfigMgr 2012 SP1, with 
every CU released, as well as on ConfigMgr 2012 R2 with CU3, 4, & 5.

Was there a catalyst or cause for this? Did something change in your 
environment like installing a CU or SP1 that caused the issue?

We had seen that same thing in our environment.  We were eventually able to 
narrow it down to AD system discovery delta discoveries running on our site 
server.  Our AD environment is also in a bit of a shambles, which didn’t help 
the situation.

We currently have about three dozen enabled for incremental updates.

We ended up turning off system delta discovery entirely and changed the full 
system discovery to run once per hour.  We haven’t seen the issue since.

I am seeing this with all collections in our environment. It even happens to 
collections with only 10 members in it. We do not have a CAS only one primary 
site.

How many members are in the collections that you’re seeing this with?  Is it 
all collections or just one?  How many deployments are targeted to those 
collections.

For each deployment, there are two policy entries per member of the collection. 
 There are tons of SQL triggers and stored procedures running when collection 
membership changes.  If you’re using a CAS, your hour-glass will only go away 
once the primary sites are done processing all the policy changes for those 
deployments/members and updating the collection additions/removals.  If you 
have distant child primaries, and also pending your replication times, it may 
take a bit for the hour glass to go away and for your membership to report 
properly.

So, lots of members with many deployments can take a while to process an update 
if there are large membership changes.

Subject: [mssms] Collection Eval Slow Updating

All,

We recently updated our server to SCCM 2012 R2 SP1 (CU1). This past Friday we I 
started noticing long collection eval times. I would manually update a 
collection and it would take 30-45 minutes to eval the collection. The 
collection eval logs do not move during those 30-45 minutes its stopped at “PF: 
Looking for candidates for incremental evaluation” Then the system will act 
normal and process collection evaluations for 45 minutes straight without a 
hiccup. This pattern happens over and over. I don’t see any errors in the 
colleval.log and; I don’t see anything wrong with the SMS_COLLECTION_EVALUATOR 
component either. We also have less than 100 collections with incremental 
updates set as well. Server has been rebooted as well. I did find one post on 
TechNet from one person who seems to be having the issue but never actually got 
it resolved. Logs are attached.
