<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">Not sure if this would work, but could
you create a user group that is allowed certain policies for self-service?
In AD we have a building tech group that can install apps that are
licensed like Office, but that install is not available to anonymous. I
would think I could have a group in AD for the users that need that app
and then maybe grant rights to that group to execute the install policy?
</font>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">I haven't tried it so I'm not sure if
that would work. And a single password would be much simpler, especially
since you could disable the policy after the correct number of licenses
have been installed. </font>

<br><font size=3 face="Lucida Grande">It has come to my attention that
certain users may need certain software and licenses are limited. Instead
of me doing bunches of manual data entries and finding out all the individual
laptops (out of 6,000) and creating a smart group out of them, I would
like the idea of putting a password on a self service install. Then
giving that password to that class, and so the students in that particular
class can install it with their password. Then make a smart group
of all users that have that application installed to track the licenses.
I was talking to a teacher who wanted to buy 30 copies of some accounting
software for a class. I was dreading the thought of me having to
track down each student, the asset tag of their computer, and creating
yet another smart group, then I thought if I could just put like a password
on the self service install, the student could install it them self with
that password.</font><font size=3> </font>

<br><font size=3 face="Lucida Grande">I know that working in a 1:1 is way
different but I have users that may switch laptops due to hardware failure
and I just want them to be able to install it on whatever laptop they are
given. In many cases when a laptop goes out for repair a spare is
issued. </font><font size=3> </font>
