Deployment Data Tab / User Experience Subtab

Property

Description

Installation behavior

Select one of the following options:

• User—The application installs for only the user who it is deployed to.
• System—The application installs only once and is available to all users.
• Any—If the application is deployed to a device, then it will install for all users. If the application is deployed to a user, then it will install for only that user.

Logon requirement

Select one of the following options to specify the login requirements for installing this application:

• Only when a user is logged on 
• Whether or not a user is logged on 
• Only when no user is logged on 

Note:If you have set the Installation behavior property to User, this option will default to Only when a user is logged on and cannot be changed.

Installation program visibility

Select one of the following options to specify the mode in which the deployment type will run on client devices:

• Maximized—The deployment type runs maximized on client devices. Users will see all installation activity.
• Normal—The deployment type runs in the normal mode based on system and program defaults. This is the default mode.
• Minimized—The deployment type runs minimized on client devices. Users might see installation activity in the notification area or task bar.
• Hidden—The deployment type runs hidden on client devices and users will see no installation activity.

Enforce specific behavior

Select one of the following options to enable Configuration Manager to enforce specific OS reboot behavior regardless of the application’s intended behavior:

• Determine behavior based on return codes—Handle reboots based on the codes configured on the Return Codes tab.
• No specific action—No reboot required after installation.
• The software installation program might force a device restart—Configuration Manager will not control reboot; the actual installation might force a reboot without warning.
• Configuration Manager client will force a mandatory device restart—Configuration Manager will force a device reboot—either by notifying the user or without notification.

Maximum allowed run time (min)

Specifies the maximum time (in minutes) that the program is expected to run on the client computer. This setting can be specified as a whole number greater than zero. The default setting is 120 minutes.

This value is used for two purposes:

• To monitor results from the deployment type.
• To determine if a deployment type will be installed when maintenance windows have been defined on client devices.

Estimated installation time (min)

Specify the estimated time that the deployment type will take to install.

Allow user to view and interact with program installation

Set this property to True to enable the user to view and interact with the program installation in order to configure installation options. If it is set to False, the program installation is hidden from the user.

Note:This property can be set to True only when the Login requirement property is set to Only when a user is logged on.

Provision this application for all users on the device

Set this property to True to give access to the windows app packages for all users on the device. If false, the access will be available only for the user it is deployed to.

Note:This property is applicable for AppX and MSIX packages.
