Deploying Applications To Users Using SCCM 2012 R2
Prajwal Desai
In this post we will look at the steps for deploying applications to users using SCCM 2012 R2. In SCCM 2012 R2, an application basically
contains the files and information that are required to deploy software to a device. In one of my post that I had posted when I was deploying
SCCM 2012 we had seen the steps for
deploying applications to devices using SCCM 2012.
Applications in Configuration Manager support
user-centric management so that you can associate specific users with specific devices. Instead of having to remember the name of a user’s
device, you can now deploy software to the user and to the device. This functionality can help you make sure that the most important
software is always available on each device that a specific user accesses. If a user acquires a new computer, you can automatically install
the user’s applications on the device before the user logs on.
If an application is deployed by SCCM 2012 R2 and has been installed on a device, the Configuration Manager always checks whether the
application is present on the device or not. Let’s say if the application was uninstalled by the user then at the next evaluation cycle,
Configuration Manager detects that the application is not present and reinstalls it. This is one of the good feature I liked about Configuration
Manager.
The re-evaluation interval for application deployments can be configured by using the
Schedule re-evaluation for deployments
client
setting. The default value is every 7 days. You can also initiate this action from a Configuration Manager client computer by selecting the
action
Application Deployment Evaluation Cycle
from the
Actions
tab of
Configuration Manager
in Control Panel.
In this post we will be deploying a simple application to the user and this application won’t install unless the SCCM administrator/approver
approves it. In the below example I am creating a application for Adobe Reader and this will be deployed to the user group. You can take any
application of your choice and follow the below screenshots. Enter the information about the application and choose the
Install behavior
as
Install for User
and click
Next
and complete the App creation wizard.

Since we will be deploying the application to the users, we will first create a group in active directory and add the user to that group. I have
skipped the screenshots as it’s fairly simple to create a group and add user to it. Once you have done that, right click the
User Collections
and click
Create User Collection.
Specify a name to the user collection and set the
Limiting collection
to
All Users and User Groups.
Click
Next.

Now let’s create a query which will add the user group to the collection. Click
Add Rule
and select
Query Rule.
Specify a name for the query
and Click
Edit Query Statement.

On the
Query Statement Properties
window click on tab named
Criteria
and click on yellow icon. On the
Criterion Properties
window, set
Attribute Class
to
User Resource,
set
Attribute
to
User Group Name.
Set the
Value
as the name of the group that you created in your
active directory. In this example BPO Users is the group that is created in active directory that contains user named Eric. Click
OK
and then
click
Next
and complete the
User Collection wizard.

In the Configuration Manager console, when we click
User Collections,
we see that the user collection
BPO Users
has been created.
