Re : Software Deployment via AD Group Membership

Thanks for the reply Romanus.

I have seen the settings you referenced, and already had them set (with a detect interval of 1 hour).

If I click on the ? next to each of those settings, it does suggest this will work as you describe for AD groups. However, clicking the Help link in the top right of the page gives me the following;

All configurations applied to an Active Directory/OU, will automatically get applied to the newly added computers. You can configure Desktop Central to check for newly added computers and also schedule the time for the configurations to get applied. This can be customized as per the options mentioned below.

Click the Admin tab to invoke the Admin page.
Click Configuration Settings
Under Auto-detect OU/Group changes and Apply Configuration, click the checkbox to configure the settings.
1. Enable "Detect and Apply Configurations at every System Startup or User Logon" to apply configurations to computers during user logon and system startup.
2. If you choose to enable the configurations at scheduled time, then the change detection will happen at the specified time after the nearest refresh cycle.
Click Save Changes.

Note : If the configurations are applied to a Custom Group, the newly added computers will not have the configurations applied to it automatically. Similarly if any computer is removed from the Active Directory / OU/ Custom Group, the applied configurations will not be removed automatically.

The highlighted note at the end caught my interest. This describes my problem, even with the settings you have suggested.

What isn't 100% clear to me through any of the help text is if it is referencing an Active Directory group, which is what I am trying to use to automatically assign applications in as zero-touch way as possible.
