Windows SCCM 2012 - Does Application deployment require User logon?

[cooper549]

Hi

 

We've just deployed System centre 2012 R2 deployed into our network and its been brill so far but there's just a little thing in the back of mind i'm wondering if anyone can answer for me as I can't seem to find the answer anywhere. (my Google-ninja skills have failed me)

 

Does anyone know if after an application has been deployed to a device collection, whether or not a user needs to be logged in for the software to install, or will it install without any interaction from a user/admin?

 

Thanks in advanced

As long as you have the correct options under the user experience tab for a deployment type. Some applications make sense to be deployed when the use is logged off e.g Java.

The logon requirement (pictured below) will determine whether the app will install when a user is logged on or not (should be set before you deploy the application to a collection).

Ahhh i see it now, I've just had a quick look back through the software and most it already has this option set. it's a good thing this is in early days for us. It would've seemed a massive downer if this is wasn't possible.

 

Thanks for you help!
