Hot to NOT display Software in Software Center

[jesterrace]

Hallo,

maybe someone can help me.. 

I need to hide some applications an my servers, but they should be visible on clients. 

Has anyone a hind for me? Best way to do this? 

Thank you.

Well the best way to do this would be to have separate 'Device Collections' for Servers & Computers and only deploy the specific software to the Computers collection.

I want to do this with user collections...

The only option for that I believe would be to completely disable 'user policy' on the server clients.

You can make a custom Client Settings. Select Client Policy, change "Enable user policy on clients" to No, and deploy it to a collection. Those devices in the specified collection would then always skip processing any 'User Policy Retrieval & Evaluation'.

I got an Idea...

what about limiting my RDS Server Users to not start the software center. Maybe GPO?

That'd be a simple way to do it if you're able to and doesn't affect anything else. Just block 'SCClient.exe' for a targeted group I'd assume.
