Config Manager Application Deployment Implicit Uninstall

Question

You can enable an application deployment to automatically uninstall when the assigned resource is no longer a member of the target collection by checking the "When a resource is no longer a member of the collection, uninstall the application" checkbox.

However, I can't seem to figure out to enable this using PowerShell with either new-cmapplicationdeployment or set-cmapplicationdeployment.

Does anyone know if that is possible?

Thanks for your posting on Q&A.

I researched on the Internet and consult the other senior Engineers. It seems that there is no such PowerShell scripts we could refer to achieve this goal. I'm not a expert in PowerShell. Looking for others who are experts in PowerShell could share some ideas.

I will conduct in-depth research. I will come back if there are any updates of the case. But I just one question. Why you try to figure out the function by PowerShell though we could do it by MECM? No offense, just raised my confusion.

Thanks for your understanding and cooperation. Have a great day.

Best regards,
Rita

Answer 2

Hello,
I was hoping to enable this feature programmatically as I have almost 100 applications that are all maintained using PowerShell.

When a new version is required, a single script creates, deploys, and supersedes it.

Thanks for confirming.
