Advertisment issue 2

[DavrosDalek]

I'm testing sms 2003 at the moment. When i advertise a manual installation of sp4 for windows 2000 i get my little pop up bubble at the clock advising the user that there is a new advertisment available. It says something like new program available, click here to see etc. When i click on it, it opens the add/remove programs. I guess i should see the advertised program in "add programs from your network" ? Well it don't show up there. But if i go to control panel and openrun advertised programs i see it there instead. I can also run it from there ok.

Whats going on here ? How do i make it advertise properly ?

I'm running sms 2003 on a windows 2000 member server in a 2000 test domain with a couple of windows 2000 pro machines as clients.

Cheers
Craig

Hey Craig,
there is a (global) setting for this.
Check the tab "General" for the "Advertised program Client Agent" - there you can specify this for the Advanced Client.
(New program notification icon opens Add or Remove Programs:
Display advertised programs in Add or Remove Programs in Control Panel.)

Hope this helps you

Cheers,
Chris

loo at your Advertise Program Monitor Client Agent...you can select whether or not the advertisement goes into ADD or REMOVE programs OR goes into the normal APM icon.
