Re: Why are apps reinstalled?

Tech Tip: Click here to run a free scan for Windows Errors and optimize PC performance

Sounds like the apps are assigned by user and this is the first time this
user logged on to that computer.
Even though another user logged onto that laptop and the software got
installed when they logged on, it was installed in *their* particular
profile. I suspect other users on the same computer don't have access to
another user's profile (they are not administrators) unless they log on
using the other user's credentials.

If they have never logged onto that particular computer before, the first
time they log in, their get a pristine profile, they can't use software
installed under another user's profile so the application installs into
their profile.

You would have to talk to your sys admin to be sure this is what is
happening.

Answer also for Danny.

The apps are installed after logging in.
I can't say whether it's the first time they log in to that particular
computer. 23 students and 23 laptops. What are the chances
they pick a laptop they've used before? I guess some will and
some won't.
It's pretty sure though that another student has used the laptop
before (recently) as the laptops are intensively used.

AD software management will install apps regardless of the rights of the
user logging in. Although AD managed apps are usuallly installed via the
comptuer part of the group policy object. Are the apps being installed
when the computer is starting or after a user is logging in?

I'm pretty sure the apps (or an app) is not uninstalled as
the students simply don't have the rights (via GPO) to
uninstall apps.
That's why I don't understand the re-installing.

Someone may have uninstalled the applications that were there before,
or they may have needed updates. Group Policy is used to push out
software through MSI--it is actually a pretty common method of
deployment. Simply let them roll with it and if you have any further
questions ask the Network Admin :)
