[<CommonParameters>] Description
The Add-CMDeviceAffinityToUser cmdlet adds device affinity to a user of Configuration Manager.
Device affinity in Configuration Manager associates a user with one or more devices. Instead of deploying applications to all the user's devices, you deploy the application to the user and Configuration Manager automatically installs the application on all devices that are associated with that user. Device affinity removes the need for Configuration Manager to determine the names of the devices of a user before you deploy applications for that user.
For more information, see Link users and devices with user device affinity.
Note
Run Configuration Manager cmdlets from the Configuration Manager site drive, for example PS XYZ:\>. For more information, see getting started.
Examples
Example 1: Add device affinity to a user by user ID
PS XYZ:\>Add-CMDeviceAffinityToUser -UserName "Patti Fuller" -DeviceName "WestDivUpdates05"This command adds affinity to the device named WestDivUpdates05 for the user named Patti Fuller.
