Package - Defining Execution & Reboot
You can specify in which context the package is to be installed and under which circumstances it is allowed to trigger a computer restart.
Depending on whether the package contents require a user to be logged on or not, you can choose from the following settings:
- Installation in user context only
The AutoInstaller runs the installation in the user context. - Installation in service context only
The ServiceInstaller runs the installation.
If you activate the package property Installation of user-related portions (default setting), the AutoInstaller executes the package in any case to make sure that existing user-related portions are installed. Therefore you must make sure to deactivate this property if there are no user-related portions. - Installation in service or user context
Depending on the classification of the commands, either the ServiceInstaller or the AutoInstaller run the installation.
Additionally, the package execution can be reduced to the maintenance schedule that is defined for OUs or computers.
Depending on the package contents you can choose from the following settings:
- Reboot required
- No reboot required
- Immediate reboot
- Software controls
