MDM script runs once but not for new users on shared PC

Minimal guidance for messy support realities.

Scenario

A remediation or onboarding script worked for the original user on a shared PC, but later users never receive the same action.

Recommended Resolution Path

  1. Check assignment scope, user versus device context, and detection logic.
  2. Review whether the script writes a machine-level flag that prevents later runs.
  3. Test with a fresh user profile on the same device.
  4. If the PC is genuinely shared, document a device-context deployment pattern instead of a one-user assumption.

Technician Notes

Document what changed, what confirmed the fix, and whether the issue points to a broader standards gap worth addressing for the client.
