Hi folks,

I was curious if I could invoke a App Store App installation, a bit like a policy event trigger.
I want to automate installation, but at a specific time, not just when it decides it is time to install. And I don't want it in self service.

It's no big deal really, but when we image (yes) a device, we install a load of stuff through policies before imaging completes. I would like to install all the associated App Store Apps too, so we know the device have everything it should before someone uses it.

Thoughts?

If not possible, how is the "install automatically" setting of an App Store app actually invoked exactly?

Unless I'm missing something, based on observation device-VPP installed apps won't start unless a user is logged in.

@jbourdon Do you think that would that apply to the special "adobeinstall" user that Casper uses post imaging?
