PENDING Deploy applications to user collection in SCCM

[Biman Roy]

Hi,
I want software to be deployed based on user collection only. If user changes his device the software should be deployed in the new machine, and be uninstalled in the old machine. Is it possible?

Thanks

Yes that can be done, check this post - http://prajwaldesai.com/deploying-applications-to-users-using-sccm-2012-r2/

Regarding the second part of the question, you can try this -

Assume, AD OU "Software Install"

1. create a collection A who's membership rule is based on "All computers in the OU "Software Install""
2. create a software package to install software and deploy to collection A, then all computers in the collection A will receive the software
3. create a collection B who's membership rule is based on "All computers not in the OU "Software Install", but have software installed"
4. create a software package to uninstall the software and deploy to collection B

Then, when computer join OU "Software Install", the software will be installed. And when the computer is removed from the OU "Software Install" it's status is "Not in the OU "Software Install", but have the software installed", thus this computer will be added to collection B and receive the software uninstall package to uninstall the software.

Thanks Prajwal. So, I have to add/delete the computers in B OU? I was hoping to avoid that task manually. I was wondering if SCCM could install based on user collection only.
