Deploying to AD Groups in Realtime
Jason Wisniewski
Is it possible to have PDQ Pro watch groups in real time to see when computers have been added (and in a perfect world removed) and then install (and uninstall in that removal case) based on this? It would give me the ability to delegate installation control to more people, making my life much easier.

Jason,
We're planning on adding this ability, but for now there is a workaround that will get you part way there using a schedule. If you link (not import) a schedule to a group then every time that schedule runs it will get the current list of computers. Schedules can be set to not re-deploy to a computer after it succeeds or after a certain number of failures. This way, every time the schedule runs it will only try to install to new computers in the group (ones that haven't yet succeeded or have failed too many times).
It's not a perfect replacement for the functionality, but it will work for many scenarios.
I am going to test that out now, thank you!
