Pre Install Notification Options

The Pre Install Notification Options page of the Deploy Remediation Wizard allows you to define whether users receive notification when patches are downloaded and installed, and to customize the installation settings. Setting the notification and allowing users to cancel options is the seventh step in scheduling a deployment for a selected patch.

Notify Users Of Patch Install: Select this option to notify the user prior to the installation of the patch. There are two options:
- Prompt before download: Select this option to notify the user when the patch download process begins.
- Prompt before install: Select this option to notify the user when the patch installation process begins.
Message Box: The text of the notification message.
Use values assigned to system variables or defaults: Select this option to use the default settings for each agent. This option disables all other patch installation and notification options.
Override Settings: Select this option to use the settings chosen by users for each agent. Selecting this option enables all other notification options and enables you to edit the default installation settings.
Options: When defining installation options, you can specify whether to use the values in the default settings (the Use values assigned to system variables or defaults check box) or the custom settings. There are three options:
- Allow User to cancel: Allows the user to cancel the patch installation.
- Time to show dialog before install: The time in seconds to display the notification message.
- Allow User to snooze: This option allows the user to snooze the installation.
