Deploy to AD Group with users not computers?

Hi PDQ Team,

I would like to setup a few shedules that are linked to AD Groups.
But I do not want to add the target Computers to that AD Group, but the target Users. Is this possible?
I would like to install to Users and not to Computers.
A Funktion that do not proceed when successfull for users would also be great, like the same for Computers, but is semi important.

In a modern Office Environment you do not have Computers linked to Users anymore.
Every employee just take a free seat on any Computer and when this happens the User need to have their Software installed if something is missing.

Thanks

This would come down to a licensing issue. Any computer a user is going to use should be licensed to use the software they require. If you have a license for all of these computers why are you not just pushing it out to all of them instead of waiting for a user to log on to the computer?

You should be using logon script if you really want it to check a computer when a user logs on. PDQ is not meant to be used in this way and would be incredibly inefficient.
