Items remain in Application Catalog, even after its no longer deployed to user.

Hi.

So we noticed that if we remove a user from a deployment, they still see it in the Application Catalog, even after its been uninstalled and user policy evaluation has run, etc.

I did a test.

1: Deploy Available application to a user.

2: It appears in Application Catalog. Install it.

3: Remove deployment for user.

Item still remains in the users Application Catalog.

If I do a properties on the user in the SCCM console, I can see that the deployment is gone.

I've run a Request and Evaluate User policy.

I've waited a week ..

I've uninstalled the application manually.

The application is still available in Application Catalog for the user.

Any ideas why it does not go away?

Regards,

Mattias

6 hours is usually not recommended. The default is every 7 days.

What does AppDiscovery.log tell then? Is the application still discovered?

I think there's a fix for this in the recently released CU3 for R2.

Hi,

You could check the KB below for SCCM 2012 R2 CU3 as Jason said.

This is still an issue for us, even with CU4. The CU3 fix is for Software Center but this problem is in Application Catalog and its users, not computers that is removed from collections.

We actually skipped CU3 and went right for CU4 just last week.

Checking properties on the user in SCCM, and the deployments tab, I can correctly see the applications the users should see in Application Catalog, but the user sees a lot more since they once had more applications deployed to him/her. They do not go away and you CAN install them without problems. This is a huge problem but I find it very hard to find any information about it..

Am I the only one that reports this?

I tried uninstalling and reinstalling the "Application Catalog web service point" and "Application Catalog website point" on the server but that did nothing.
