SCCM 2007 - Displaying a message to user during application / script deployment
As per the standard practice any message should not be displayed during software deployment but there might be some cases when you can’t follow this rule. Recently I was deploying a VBScript through SCCM software deployment. The script was supposed to display a message box to the user, before it can proceed with upgrade, if particular application was found running. The issue was that message box was not visible and due to that user can’t provide the input. Hence, the deployment got stuck forever. The issue was occurring because “ Allow users to interact with this program ” option was not selected in “Environment” tab. Select “ Allow users to interact with this program ” option in “Environment” tab. If you do not select this option, the program run in an administrative context and no user interface is displayed to the user. This is the default setting. If you select “ Allow users to interact with this program ”, the user interface for the program is visible to the logged on us
