[Casper] feature request

[chris.stuart at jwt.com]

I agree as well, it can be especially frustrating when deploying huge 
programs like Adobe and FCS.  It would also be nice if in the Casper 
application, if it gave a progress bar when installing software on each 
machine instead of just "Installing Adobe CS3".  Maybe it would reflect 
overall progress if it had multiple installs to do.  Just a thought.

Thanks,

My only comment is that laptops seem to be the new trend and all of our 
recent purchases have all been laptops. Also, having a progress bar any 
where that you wonder what is going on will be huge.

Some sort of warning or indication would be great for the laptops.  More
and more of our machines are wireless and moving around, on/off the
network, so pushing larger packages is tricker.  I suppose Caching and 
then
waiting to install after cached might help, but harder to keep track of.

Yes, a self service type option for users would be quite nice...

I have had similar need/want for this in terms of "Self Service" for
end-user installs of software. I want to be really careful with options.
There are some things I want to force to happen, or give the user a
reasonable threshold of time to do it before I force it on them. It would
be similar to options in SMS on the Windows side.

5000 laptops...I feel so tiny.

Would it be possible to get a progress bar and some sort of interactive
menu for the user to interact with for installs and reboots?  I have
several packages running that require a reboot.  I would love it if the
user could choose when to reboot and install software.  So they would
get a menu saying, "Hit OK to reboot and install software package X"

Then show a progress bar.  I have over 5000 laptops in my network and
users are constantly putting their laptop to sleep or never rebooting or
logging in and out.
