2 Best practice

  • Select the computer or user first, then look at the status of what is already assigned before you add or remove anything.
  • Use Clean to take a computer out of an install collection and Remove to uninstall; they are not the same. See Manage Software.
  • Schedule changes that may disturb the user for a time outside working hours.
