Install list of required software (and worklets) when machine added to a group

I’m in the process of setting up all of our base applications as Required Software and Worklets.

My intention is that when a newly built machine is added to the appropriate group, all the associated Required Software and Worklet policies are run.

Is there a way to do this? If not, how are people managing this “onboarding” process?

I’m guessing this is not possible, and that I’ll need to manually run the required software, or strike a balance between how often the associated policy runs and how long I want to wait for the SW to deploy.

I don’t see a downside to just running the policies every day after hours. That way any machines that you added during the day will get the software installed before the next morning. It’s not quite instant, but it’s probably the best you can do with the functionality available.
