James,
I could be wrong, but I think what you could do is: 1) Create a user collection containing the users that you don't want to be assigned to a device 2) Create a custom user settings package that disallows the "Allow user to define their primary devices" option 3) Deploy the custom user settings package to the collection in step #1 Hope this helps. Cheers, Trevor Sullivan From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Beardsley, James Sent: Tuesday, September 24, 2013 1:04 PM To: [email protected] Subject: [mssms] User Device Affinity Hello all - Is there a way to prevent certain user accounts from being detected as possible options for user device affinity? Does discovering the user account with AD User Discovery dictate whether or not they can show up in UDA? Or is UDA independent of discovery? We have some service/admin accounts that we don't want to be assigned to machines but the help desk uses them to Run-As in cases where users don't have permissions to install some apps. So when our help desk uses these admin accounts to install the app, SCCM determines that as a potential user account on that machine when I open the "Edit Primary Users" properties on a particular machine and look in the "Users of this device in the last 90 days" section. I have my client settings configured to automatically assign users based upon usage data and the admin/service account is not used enough to become assigned that machine automatically but I'd rather they not even show up as an option to be selected on accident, for example, when our hardware department is matching machine to user after a PC migration. The chances of that happening are slim so this isn't a major deal. but just curious.
