You need this feature when a windows user profile has been deleted from a device, and you are using "run once pr user pr device" install actions.
Currently the Zen Agent remembers bundle install status for the user even if the windows profile has been wiped from the device - resulting in "run once pr user pr device" NOT being run again when the user logs in again after the profile wipe.
This is not very intuitive as users and admins alike would expect Zenworks to treat the user as NEW, when Windows treats the user as NEW.

The bundle info pr user is kept in the APPLSTATE file for the bundle, and each user object has its own section describing current install state. Testing reveals that removing the users section from the APPLSTATE file of the bundle creates the desired effect (of run once pr user pr device working again). Removing the entire APPLSTATE file results in state information being wiped for ALL users, which is not desireable.

The feature could be solved with an optional checkmark in the "run once pr user" popup enforcing zenworks user application state information to be wiped if windows profile is new, and the user already has a section in the APPLSTATE file(s).
