# Best practices for collections in Configuration Manager

*Applies to: Configuration Manager (current branch)*

Use the following best practices for collections in Configuration Manager.  

## <a name="bkmk_incremental"></a> Don't use incremental updates with many collections

When you enable the **Use incremental updates for this collection** option, this configuration might cause evaluation delays when you enable it for many collections. The threshold is about 200 collections in your hierarchy. The exact number depends on the following factors:  

- The total number of collections  

- The frequency of new resources being added and changed in the hierarchy  

- The number of clients in your hierarchy  

- The complexity of collection membership rules in your hierarchy  

## Maintenance window size for software updates

You can configure maintenance windows for device collections to restrict the times that Configuration Manager can install software on these devices. If you configure the maintenance window to be too small, the client might not be able to install critical software updates, which leaves the client vulnerable to the attack mitigated by the software update.

> [!Tip]
> Important considerations to keep in mind when planning your maintenance windows:
>
> - The default software update maximum run time is 60 minutes.
> - When Configuration Manager calculates whether an update can install, it adds five minutes to the maximum run time to account for a restart.
> - The remaining duration of a maintenance window must be longer than the maximum run time of the software update plus five minutes.
The story of illustrator Grace Lin and her husband, Robert's fight against cancer is moving beyond words.
Last year Robert's Snow: for Cancer's Cure raised over $100,000 for cancer research. The snowflakes were exquisite and I loved looking at each one. I was not alone apparently as the book Robert's Snowflakes highlights many (but not all) of the snowflakes created by children's book illustrators.
The success of last year's auctions has spurred Robert's Snow: for Cancer's Cure--2005. The auctions begin November 6, 2005 and feature children's illustrators such as Aliki, Mary Azarian, Tomie dePaola, Jerry Pinkney, Tony DiTerlizzi (check out the "Spiderwick" snowflake,) Paul O. Zelinsky and many many more.
Take some time and look through the site. You will be so glad you did.Human Revolution is better in a lot of ways, including gameplay, it's a better game in general. It's one of the best games in the last 20 years, so it's a must, the story is absolutely incredible. Also Mankind divided is a direct sequel, although the main plot can be enjoyed independently it's also the weakest part of the game. The DLC of HR The Missing Link is incredible, it takes what already was one the best games and makes it better.

The hub is is better in Mankind Divided although you only get one, the graphics are much better, the side quests are really good. Mankind Divided has two DLC that are much better than the main campaign, A Criminal Past
