| Prism is designed to deploy to workstations rather than users. However, there are a couple possibilities you could try. 1) New Boundary has developed a COM DLL to allow the Prism client to query the security group membership of the currently-logged in user. The results of the query can be used to populate a User-Defined Configuration Group within Prism Deploy. You can then assign Prism Deploy Tasks to that group. Whenever a user who is a member of a specific group logs into a machine, that machine will get the task that is targeted at members of the group. Full details are here: http://www.nbtnet.newboundary.com/supportkb/article.aspx?id=10040&cNode=7M8R4G 2) User-defined configuration groups can be created to sort on things like Username and UserADName. For example, you may want to deploy a certain application to all members of the Accounting OU, no matter where they are logged in. You could create a user-defined group that looks something like this: UserADName MATCHES "MyCompany.local/Accounting/*". Then assign tasks to that specific group.

| I just wanted to add it is also possible to do this by... create a new configuration group, choose predefined and instead of using one of the listed items in the dropdown, type in "username" without the quotes. This group will then populate by usernames. |

| Just be aware that using this technique will result in a subgroup for each individual user. If you want to assign a task to a number of users, it will have to be assigned to each individual subgroup.
