New Deployment Configuration Schedule

[CyberCitizen]

Hi Guy's,

Having an issue with the scheduled deployments. We are using Lansweeper to install a standard fleet of software onto our devices, we were installing them manually, however was advised a group of applications could be installed by creating a Deployment Schedule and Group.

I created A Group called SOE Deployment, added the required machines and the software was installed as expected, the issue was the software kept trying to be installed over and over. We only have about 12 applications to install. Checked the computers in this group today and there was 80 deployments on the one machine.

Do we need to remove them from the group once completed?

What is the best way moving forward?

Thank you for that, it is what I was expecting, however wasn't wanting to go down that avenue just yet.

I will have a think of the best way I can complete this task.

Thanks for the input.

If you're using a static group you'll indeed need to manually remove the computers that no longer need the package manually from the group.

You could instead deploy based on a report that for instance only shows computers that don't have X software installed. I've added an example report below of a report that lists all computers that do not have Notepad++ installed. This report can be adjusted for any other software.
