During application deployments, it is often necessary to inform active users of an ongoing installation. Many endpoint admins accomplish this by using PSADT with ServiceUI.
The combination facilitates a user interface if an explorer.exe process is running.
However, ServiceUI’s functionality relying on an active user session can lead to failures if no user is logged-in.
The script below solves this by:
1. Checking for an active user session.
2. If a user is present, running Deploy-Application.exe via ServiceUI.
3. If no user is present, running Deploy-Application.exe directly.”
Add the script to root of your PSADT toolkit and use the following install command in Intune:
Powershell.exe -NoProfile -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -File .\DeployServiceUIOptional.ps1
