Is this CM12 and are these packages or applications? Applications , software deployment of Vmware ThinApp that install the applications into de User\appdata\local profile
If they don't you could have a second collection of all users that are NOT members of the "Office 2013 Users" group and then target that collection with the uninstall of Office 2013. Q: How do you do that, my view is that, that the collection will showup with all users without the users in the "Office 2013 Users" group, correct? Thks for your support and Time Maarten van Willigen Technical Specialist Informatie & Communicatie Technologie From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Marable, Mike Sent: Thursday, October 15, 2015 14:33 To: [email protected] Subject: [mssms] RE: Software Deployment to an AD Group Is this CM12 and are these packages or applications? The installs are all keyed off of a user's membership is a group, correct? So, if for example the user is a member of the "Office 2013 Users" group Office 2013 would automatically install? Do your users roam between machines? If they don't you could have a second collection of all users that are NOT members of the "Office 2013 Users" group and then target that collection with the uninstall of Office 2013. Now if your users do move between computers that would be dangerous. Let's say that you and I share a computer. You're a member of the "Photoshop Users" and I am not. You log in and SCCM installs Photoshop because you are a member. Later I log in and because I am not a member of the "Photoshop Users" group SCCM uninstalls it. If you're using the application model in SCCM 2012 then you can probably leverage the primary user feature to minimize this problem. In my opinion, it would be easier to move to focusing on the computer and not the user. So, Bob is supposed to have Photoshop on his computer, his computer is added to the "Photoshop Computers" group, it then falls into a collection and SCCM installs Photoshop. Bob no longer needs Photoshop? You remove his computer from the group and it falls then into a collection that automatically uninstalls Photoshop.

The procedure has basically been to go to the properties of an AD Group and manually remove the user from the AD group, update de collection, then manually remove the software from their PC. So far the requests have been for small numbers of users so it hasn't been too horrible, but the whole procedure seems wrong and there just has to be a better way. The actual uninstall from the PC is either a manual procedure, or I have to create another "uninstall" collection to add the user to or is there an history in sccm 2012 that hold the difference of an AD Group. So, I'm basically asking, "Is there a better way?".
