Was wondering how people are utilizing UEM, and more specifically, how they're assigning their UEM policy creations to their users.
By and large, we are using UEM for mostly shortcut deployment, a few UEM policies, and some logon tasks. We assign this based almost always on AD group, that we unfortunately are double using as a group for desktop entitlement in VDI. Sometimes.
The issue we're running into, is we have groups sometimes doing several things, but then sometimes not if they go to a certain desktop pool, or sometimes if they go to a desktop pool and have group A but not group B and yada yada yada. Essentially, we're making a mess of how we are entitling people to get these policies. We have so many conditions and sub conditions it's gotten ugly. I've started to come under the thought process that we jut assign users these policies based on the pool they log into, not necessarily via the user. If Joe and Jane go to desktop A, they get what is custom for desktop A, if they go to desktop B, same applies. Instead today Joe and Jane go to A & B, and carry along all their settings, even if desktop A doesn't have some of the things that desktop B has, but they meant to do the workflow of desktop A.
Not sure I'm making much sense, but, in a nutshell, just looking to see what has worked for people out there using UEM, and how they handle deployment to their users. What has worked/what hasn't worked.
Thanks in advance.
I am looking for something similar.
It's not that we made a mess of assignments (yet
) but we have a few accounts that are used for logins during courses and stuff like that.
Normally we would like to autostart an application for that specific user so we just create a shortcut in the StartUp folder of the startmenu.
Creating the shortcuts off course works but I can only assign to AD groups, not to a user. Anyway I can do this without creating AD groups and just add this 1 user into it?
Looking at Windows policies you can assign a specific shortcut to a user. When looking at the way UEM is build it is very similar to those GPO preference settings. Would love to be able to assign it to a user.
And using for example computer name prefix does not work for us as well because we have multiple users logging into this 1 specific pool. There are no other conditions I can think off.
See this post, you can use Environment variables as a condition and then use the username variable.
