If SCCM runs under the System account context then won’t %localappdata% be for that account and not the currently logged on user?
In this case you run as service account, but app install for current logged user. App can be installed only if user logged in. Installation behavior – For current user, run as account not current user, it’s only run installation for current user.
What is the timeout for?
There is timeout (based on PC perfomance), because detection rule don’t recognize installation if you run simple silent installation “Teams_windows_x64 /s”, there is some idle with keys creation. But with timeout after product installation – detection rule work as it must. In simple words timeout for correctly detection.
0x87D00324(-2016410844) have a idea?
Hei. Application is installed, this error code means problems with application detection. Try to check if the application installed. if everything fine – check installation detection rules
Thank you. timeout solved my problem.
