asked on Deploying Software via SCCM to certain AD Groups
I would like some advice on how to best approach this. Lets say my company has two groups: Accountants and HR for example. I would like to leverage SCCM to create a group of software specific to each (Accounting and HR) and have this software installed when the user first logs into their computer.
Currently we are installing software manually and the goal is that we can create a user, add them to their appropriate AD group, and when we first sign in as the user to set up the account, all the required software is installed by SCCM automatically.
I am fairly new to the admin role and SCCM so a detailed response on how to best accomplish this would be appreciated. Thank you in advance.

Thank you both. I think I will try option 1 mentioned by Hayes.
1) Software usually gets deployed to devices, not users
2) SCCM isn't very good at doing things fast
So, yes, you can sync SCCM with AD and create a deployment to a group of users, but it will take some time until the device gets the required software.
If you have a 1:1 relationship between device and user just add the device of the user to a collection advertising the required software,
