Deployment Options: Client Notification

• Deployment or Deployment Template specifies Allow or suppress display notifications on clients
  • 
• See About the Software Updates End User Experience
  • When new software updates that have a configured deadline are available, a display notification is presented to users that informs them of the pending deadline. Display notifications are presented on a periodic basis until all pending mandatory software update installations have completed. By default, they display every 3 hours for deadlines more than 24 hours away, every hour for deadlines less than 24 hours away, and every 15 minutes for deadlines that are less than 1 hour away.
  • Reminder settings can be changed in Computer Client Agent: Reminders Tab
  • When there are software update installations that have run and require a restart for them to complete, new software updates that become available are not shown and the notification area icon will not be visible. A system restart will be forced on client computers when mandatory software updates have a pending restart and the deadline has been reached.
  • When a client computer receives a software update deployment policy without an assigned deadline (optional deployment), it does not immediately download the optional software update files. The optional software updates are displayed in the Available Software Updates dialog box after the client computer receives the machine policy containing the deployment policy. When the end user manually initiates the installation for optional software updates, the update files are downloaded from a distribution point to the local cache on the client computer and then installed locally. There are no display notifications presented for optional software updates.
