Description

The Add-CMUserAffinityToDevice cmdlet associates the devices with a primary user in Configuration Manager. You can specify the devices to associate with the primary user by their names or IDs. You can specify the primary user by their name or ID.

User device affinity is a method of associating a user with one or more specified devices. This allows you to deploy applications to a user without the requirement to know the name of all the user's devices. Instead of deploying the application to all the devices of a user, you deploy the application to the user and the application automatically installs on all devices that are associated with that user.

Note

Run Configuration Manager cmdlets from the Configuration Manager site drive, for example PS XYZ:\>. For more information, see getting started.
