-# Assign applications using roles in MDT
-
-This article will show you how to add applications to a role in the MDT database and then assign that role to a computer. For the purposes of this article, the application we're adding is Adobe Reader XI. In addition to using computer-specific entries in the database, you can use roles in MDT to group settings together.
-
-## Create and assign a role entry in the database
-
-1. On MDT01, using Deployment Workbench, in the MDT Production deployment share, expand **Advanced Configuration** and then expand **Database**.
-
-2. In the **Database** node, right-click **Role**, select **New**, and create a role entry with the following settings:
-
-    1. Role name: Standard PC
-    2. Applications / Lite Touch Applications:
-    3. Install - Adobe Reader XI - x86

-
-## Associate the role with a computer in the database
-
-After creating the role, you can associate it with one or more computer entries.
-
-1. Using Deployment Workbench, expand **MDT Production**, expand **Advanced Configuration**, expand **Database**, and select **Computers**.
-
-2. In the **Computers** node, double-click the **PC00075** entry, and add the following setting:
-    - Roles: Standard PC
-
-![figure 13.](../images/mdt-09-fig13.png)
-
-Figure 13. The Standard PC role added to PC00075 (having ID 1 in the database).
-
-## Verify database access in the MDT simulation environment
-
-When the database is populated, you can use the MDT simulation environment to simulate a deployment. The applications aren't installed, but you can see which applications would be installed if you did a full deployment of the computer.
-
-1. On PC0001, log on as **CONTOSO\\MDT\_BA**.
-
-2. Modify the C:\\MDT\\CustomSettings.ini file to look like below:
-
-    ```ini
-    [Settings]

-3. Using an elevated Windows PowerShell prompt (run as Administrator), run the following commands. Press **Enter** after each command:
-
-    ```powershell
-    Set-Location C:\MDT
-    .\Gather.ps1
-
-    ```
