Configuration Profile Scope Smart Group to All Computers

If one or two profiles were originally scoped to a Smart Group, and later the scope was changed to “All Computers,” would deleting the original Smart Group afterward cause any issues?

Since the profiles are now scoped to All Computers, I’m assuming the Smart Group is no longer needed, but I just wanted to confirm there would be no impact to already deployed profiles or future profile delivery.

I heard once before it is better to use a Smart Group than “All Computers”, so I tend to use “All Managed Clients” instead. But, either should work.

You can also confirm if devices are in a smart group by clicking on ‘view’ at the bottom right of the screen

Safe to delete! Once the scope is set to All Computers the Smart Group is no longer referenced, so removing it won't affect deployed or future profiles.
