Action behavior moving from no user presence to user presence

(imported topic written by jbwood9991)

What would be the expected behavior if an action (such as service pack install) is configured to run independently of user presence and begins to run while no one is logged on…but then during the 60 minutes or so it may take to complete someone does logon? Thanks.

Shouldn’t matter… The execution constraints are pre-conditions and once they are met, the action proceeds to completion…

ok. any thoughts on running the win7 service pack 1 install with the unattend switch. it doesnt seem to show progress even if the action occurs while a logon is present the whole time. is that a side affect of it running as the system? thanks.

Yep… Win7 has protection to prevent applications running as SYSTEM from showing up to the end users… You might consider using the BigFix message option: “show message while running”…

ok. thats already configured but it doesnt provide any feedback if the install fails for some reason. hoping the /unattend will. ill try using the racu. thanks.
