  1. As far as I know, it can't be done due to the current limitations of ADRs. An ADR HAS to make a deployment, and that deployment can only target one collection. Dividing up your machines into smaller collections can be great for large roll-outs that may put a strain on your bandwidth (local or internet). For this, I've started using collections that split the computers into "waves" based on the last number or letter of the randomly-assigned SMS GUID (the "unique identifier"). For example, Wave #1 may be workstations with GUIDs ending in 0-1. Wave #8 may be for GUIDs ending in E-F. ADRs leave a lot to be desired. Even after using them for several years, I still don't trust them. I always make my ADR-required deployment to an empty collection so I can review what it contains before I make deployments for my pilot, prod, OSD, and "delayed reboot" collections. One time, I tried using several ADRs... one for each deployment I needed to make. The results were terrible because each ADR tried downloading and distributing the same patches, making for confusion on the DPs and eating-up a ton of bandwidth. Reviewing the results of an ADR before creating "real" deployments has saved my bacon on more than one occasion. Recently, MSFT decided to include a forced-update to Edge Chromium in the monthly updates, before my company was ready to do the update. Caught that one just in time. You never know what MSFT might do. I know that MSFT wants you to just trust them with deployment rings and a more "hands off" approach (such as Windows Update for Business where you don't even choose your patches). That's asking a lot, given recent history. I'm sure, with some scripting, that you could find a way to do what you want, but I would strongly caution you not to for the reasons I outline above.
