SMS 2003: automatically run program after download from DP
I've been searching all over for this, but no luck so far... Surely there must be a configuration for it! ("...And stop calling me Shirley!")
Some program setups which install networking drivers momentarily sever the existing network connection, so the program advertisement cannot be run directly from the DP, but must instead be downloaded first. Before SMS 2003, we had to script this to copy the files to a local directory and install from there; but now the 2003 Advanced Client offers us the "Download program from distribution point" option, which works great.
However, it gives the clients an unfriendly prompt stating that "This program must be downloaded before it can be run", with a needed checkbox that says, "Run program automatically when download completes."
So, is there a way to disable this prompt and have the client go ahead and run the program every time? I don't care if we have to set it globally, as it apparently is not an option for the specific advertisement.
Thanks, all--

Er, nope... Actually, the "Suppress Program Notifications" checkbox just keeps the little tooltip from popping out of the taskbar saying "A new program advertisement is available. Click here to open Run Advertised Programs..." or something like that when the client PC gets the new advert for the program.
A work-around for the question I asked can be found here at MyITForum question on the same topic. I've submitted feedback to Microsoft's SMS team to consider making a true silencing option in future revisions...
