ashridge uk Posted March 2, 2012 Report post Posted March 2, 2012 Hi, Every time I create an application using the msi method as instructed, when deploying I cannot use the "require administrator approval if user's request this application" tick box. It is always greyed out? I would really like to see the work flow for requests/approval Is there a setting I need to enable somewhere? Everything else is working well ;-) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

bademeister Posted March 8, 2012 Report post Posted March 8, 2012 Do you installed the following Roles: Application Catalog web service point Application Catalog website point When you want to have a Approval it is necessary (from my point of view) to have this!

ashridge uk Posted March 8, 2012 Report post Posted March 8, 2012 Hi Guys, Thanks for coming back! Yes I have both roles installed and working with no error messages, here is a screenshot of the deploy application wizard that always 'greys' out the option to require administrator approval.

anyweb Posted March 8, 2012 Report post Posted March 8, 2012 what collection is it Deployed to ? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ashridge uk Posted March 8, 2012 Report post Posted March 8, 2012 Hi Anyweb, it's deployed to a collection of desktops and server clients, does it need to be applied to a user collection work? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
anyweb Posted March 8, 2012 Report post Posted March 8, 2012 correct, you must deploy it to a User collection try it and see Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ashridge uk Posted March 8, 2012 Report post Posted March 8, 2012 Hi Anyweb, Like a charm ;-) Please forgive my ignorance, that was fairly obvious! That's why you run this. Thanks Again! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
anyweb Posted March 8, 2012 Report post Posted March 8, 2012 well it's not that obvious and I just checked the Docs, they state Require administrator approval if users request this application – If this option is selected, the administrator must approve any user requests for the application before it can be installed. This option is unavailable when the deployment purpose is Required. Note Application approval requests are displayed in the Approval Requests node, under Application Management in the Software Library workspace. If an approval request is not approved within 45 days, it will be removed. Additionally, reinstalling the Configuration Manager client might cancel any pending approval requests. which still doesn't reveal that you must Deploy to a User collection in order for this option to be valid, however the actual option "Require administrator approval if users request this application" does mention users specifically and not Systems/Devices so hopefully that clears it up cheers niall Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
