User-based deployments are mostly the same as computer-based deployments. The ability to target a user's primary device using User Device Affinity is one of the frequently mentioned features of the new app model, but it is not the default behavior. There is a special Requirement specifically related to whether or not the device is the user's primary device, and it can be set as part of the Deployment Method (Niall's link shows an example).
There is no setting for auto-uninstalling an application. However, because you can deploy the Uninstall for an app, and because you can define collections with Include or Exclude of another collection, you can set up the behavior you want with just a few extra steps. -Phil From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Corkill, Daniel Sent: Monday, April 21, 2014 9:41 PM To: [email protected] Subject: [mssms] Understanding application deployment to users My understanding of deploying applications to users in CM12 is that if I deploy something to a user it will only deploy to their primary computer(s). In my testing though, when I logon to a computer I've been touched before, the software is being deployed. What am I doing wrong? Or is my understanding incorrect? The application is deployed as required not optional, not sure if that makes a difference. One other question I might sneak in - I thought there was some option to remove applications that have been deployed to a computer/user if the user/computer is removed from the collection the deployment is linked to. Can't seem to find such a setting anywhere though.
