We use it for all application deployments pretty successfully. For licensed software, we use collections tied to AD group membership for the automatic deployments. For freeware or volume license software, we advertise it to all users. The original plan was to have two deployments for each piece of software. Deployment 1 is MSI based and only installs on a users primary devices. Deployment 2 is App-V and installs on a users non-primary device.
We set UDA automatically via client settings as well as during OSD. We did our initial import based on some data from our PGP Universal server to set UDA quickly. As a fall back we also allow users to define their own affinity via the application catalog. On Tue Dec 30 2014 at 1:45:07 PM Robert Schlichting < [email protected]> wrote: > Personally..
