I setup a manatory advertisement targeting a Task Sequence to a Windows 7 x64 machine. On the advertisement under Interaction I checked all the check boxes.
-Allow users to run it independently
-display reminders according to client agent reminder settings
-use countdown
-show TS progress
Under Computer client agent settings under site settings I have set the reminder time set to 4 hours.
After the advertisement appeared on my Windows 7 box it displayed the message box I have a Required Program and shows me the mandatory date and time. After closing this I never get a reminder (according to the computer client agent settings). I am not reminded every fours hours of this mandatory program. My XP machines are working just fine.
Also I have noticed this same issue when deploying Software Updates. The Win7 clients receive a popup for the patches but you do not get reminded again. We give the end user several days to install the patches.
Is this something new with Windows 7? Is it supposed to work this way?
My XP clients are working like they should, showing the reminders.
Thanks
