I'd like to see the ability to check for the existenance of a file, such as an installed application, before creating a shortcut on the desktop.

 

In my case I have an application that is installed for a subset of users that are part of an OU in AD. I want to deploy a desktop shortcut for that app to only the users that have the app installed. I use the OU as the target for the configuration, but not everyone in the OU has the app installed.

 

The configuration could do a check for the file or installed app then if present then create the shortcut. If not the don't install the shortcut.

 

I know I could get around the issue using Security Groups in AD, but in a enterprise evironment that can become a time consuming task.

 

I have created a vb script that will do this as well, but would like the feature native to the Configuration.
