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
