Deploying Per User Apps - Non persistent desktop

[Felix Onyango]

How is everyone approaching the issue of deploying per user applications -  applications that install and are only visible to the user who installed it.  Example Postman, grasshopper CRM. Since the applications cannot be installed in the image and served out to users, what are we using to solve for this issue?  Scripts? SCCM?  Intune?

Some vendors have per-machine installers (e.g., Teams). 

 

If it's not too big, then you can roam it. Or reinstall on each logon. Otherwise, you might have to give them persistent machines.

[James Kindon]

This is something Container technology can definitely help with from a roaming perspective. Citrix Profile Management has some selective controls for what goes where if capacity and performance is a consideration 

 

Where possible, it's best to try and find the machine installers - a quick google shows

For Grasshopper - worth asking the question directly to the vendor

 

Per User isn't great in non-persistent environments - I have dealt with customers that block it (AppMasking, or Application Whitelisting etc) to avoid it coming onboard.
