Device Affinity not working correctly

I setup Device Affinity and something still isn't working right.

I enabled Audit account logon events and Audit logon events in group policy. I changed the Client settings to have a 60 minute threshold in 7 days and set it to automatically configure device affinity. So it should be adding Primary Devices fairly quickly (too quickly but I'm testing right now).

Currently I've checked a variety of people. Most don't show a Primary Device for them.

For me it shows 3 devices I don't believe I've ever logged into (They are all Windows XP machines and I only use Windows 7/8)

For another IT coworker it also shows 3 machines. 1 is his test box, 1 is a computer he was working on recently and the last is a box he has no recollection of. But it doesn't show his primary machine.

I checked my UserAffinity.log file and see a lot of entries. Today's entry shows this:

<![LOG[Checking existing users for new device affinity.]LOG]!>

<time="14:39:42.442+420" date="07-19-2013" component="UserAffinity" context="" type="1" thread="1420" file="affinityagent.cpp:966">

<![LOG[Auto affinity threshold settings Days = '7', User Minutes = '60', AutoApproveAffinity = '1'.]LOG]!>

<time="14:39:42.445+420" date="07-19-2013" component="UserAffinity" context="" type="1" thread="1420" file="affinityagent.cpp:992">

<time="14:39:46.406+420" date="07-19-2013" component="UserAffinity" context="" type="1" thread="1420" file="affinityagent.cpp:1105">


So it would appear my device affinity "should" be working correctly if I'm reading this right yet it doesn't show up in SCCM.

Any suggestions on what I'm doing wrong?

Have you waited for at least 7 days?

Since no one has answer this post, I recommend opening  a support case with Microsoft Customer Support Services (CSS) as they can work with you to solve this problem.
