Description

The Remove-CMDeviceAffinityFromUser cmdlet removes device affinity from a user of Configuration Manager.

Device affinity in Configuration Manager associates a user with one or more devices. Instead of deploying applications to all the devices of a user, you deploy the application to the user and Configuration Manager automatically installs the application on all devices that are associated with that user. Device affinity removes the need for Configuration Manager to determine the names of all the devices of a user before you deploy applications for that user.

For more information about user device affinity, see How to Manage User Device Affinity in Configuration Manager.

Note

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

Examples

Example 1: Remove device affinity from a user by user ID

PS XYZ:\> Remove-CMDeviceAffinityFromUser -UserName "Patti Fuller" -DeviceName "WestDivUpdates05"

This command adds affinity to the device named WestDivUpdates05 for the user named Patti Fuller.
