We have a need to prevent the client from installing on a PC as it is a certifed config that canot be alterted. I am wondering if there is a method of puting a file on the PC that would stop the client from auto installing incase an admin moves the PC to an AD container that is auto discovered.

thanks in advance

The easist way is to turn off "Automatic client push" So that the must be installed via an admin on the machine, OSD, or via right click on a collection. There for clients discovered will not auto install. I am not sure there is any other way.

For one PC use this method. If you have more than one then you might want to look at other options.
