Silent upgrade of EV client while outlook is open

[Sarah_Seftel1]

Hi all,

I have a client where we need to upgrade many clients using SCCM.

the issue is that when users outlook is open the installation prompts in popup window the ignore\cancel\retry option, but I need it to use the ignore option silently without prompting to the user.

any ideas?

Thanks,

Sarah.

what switches are you using?

you could try /qn with the script.  qn is supposed to to prevent any user interface I believe.

We are about to deploy the 8.04 EV client to prepare for 8.04 to 9.02 EV upgrade.  We are also using SCCM.  In testing, push calls for a reboot of the user's PC - some without notice.  I don't know if deployment team is using correct script.  Is there a switch we can use to suppress the reboot?

Hey Gloria,

They should probably use a /nostart or REBOOT=ReallySuppress.  One thing though, endusers will probably experience some issues until the reboot occurs.

Can they have it occur as part of a logout?  That way the end users won't be affected.

Hi, Tony.  I asked if they could add it to our login script, but I was informed that they are trying to get rid of it.  I'll pass this info on to them and have them test.  Will let you know.  Thanks.
