"Add New Programs" opens when clicking on Client Notification Icon

[langwebdesign]

Hi @all

 

when I advertise an application and don't set a mandatory assignment time the user gets an notification icon informing him of new software availability (My installation is German so i don't really know what the English version says...).

So far so good.

When i then click on the notification bubble or icon the "Add New Programs" window from "Control Panel" -> "Add or Remove Programs" shows up.

It takes a few seconds and the advertised software is displayed, but there is now way of showing the details of the advertisement.

Because I'm adding some important information to the comments (like "close all programs, will restart without warning") the user should read those.

Is there a way of changing the behavior of the notification to start "Run Advertised Programs" GUI instead?

This is all happening on XP Machines!

 

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

 

Regards Stephan

Could be the setting under Advertised Programs Client Agent Properties.

 

In the config manager console expand Site Management > SiteName > Site Settings > Client Agents and look at properties of Advertised Programs Client Agent.

 

In this place there is a setting to have advertised programs appear in add/remove programs.
