UI Element List
Name |
Description |
Program can run
|
Specifies the logon conditions necessary for the program to
run:
- Only when a user is logged on:
Prevents the program from running if no user is logged on to the
client computer. This is the default setting.
- Only when no user is logged on:
Prevents the program from running until the user logs off the
computer.
Note |
If a user logs on while the installation is running, the
program continues to run. |
- Whether or not a user is logged on:
Enables the program to run with or without a user logged on the
client computer.
|
Run Mode
|
Specifies the credentials required to run the program on the
client computer. Two options are available:
- Run with user's rights: Specifies
whether the program runs with user credentials. This option is
selected by default.
- Run with administrative rights:
Specifies whether the program runs with administrator credentials.
If selected, this forces the program to run under the local
administrator account on the client computer.
If this option is selected, the following additional option is
available:
- Allow users to interact with this
program: Specifies whether to allow users to interact with the
program. This check box is available only when Only when no user
is logged on is selected as a logon condition and Run with
administrative rights is selected.
Select this option only for programs that must run in an
administrative context and that require the user to interact with
the program. If you select this option, the user interface for the
program is visible to the logged-on user, and that user can
interact with the program.
Leave this option clear for all programs that do not display any
user interface or that display a user interface but do not require
the user to interact with the program.
Note |
If you advertise a program that is set to Run with
administrative rights and you do not select Allow users to
interact with this program, the program can fail if it displays
a user interface that requires a user to make a selection or click
a button. The program waits for user interaction until the
program's configured Maximum allowed run time is exceeded,
and then stops if no user interaction is received. If no Maximum
allowed run time is specified, the program's process ends after
12 hours. |
|
Runs with UNC name
|
Specifies that the program runs with a Universal Naming
Convention (UNC) name. This is the default setting.
|
Requires drive letter
|
Indicates that the program requires a drive letter to fully
qualify its location, but Configuration Manager 2007 can use any
available drive letter on the client.
|
Requires specific drive letter
|
Indicates that the program requires a specific drive letter that
you specify to fully qualify its location.
If the specified drive letter is already used on a given client,
the program does not run.
|
Reconnect to distribution point at logon
|
Specifies that the client computer reconnects to the
distribution point when the user logs on. By default, this check
box is cleared.
