Hello Everyone,
We have a requirement that we want to display a message to our customers that a software program is about to install on their device in the next 2 hours , this message will let them install the program EITHER instantly OR let them do their work until the 2 hours windows runs out. However, if a user decides not to install the program and reboots his device while the 2 hour timer is still running, we want the program to resume counting 2 hours where it left before the reboot. Is there anyway this can be achieved via task Sequence ?

    Hi,

    I think it would not available to achieve through Task Scheduler. But I searched and found a blog about similar function through Script. Try to check if it works for you.

    Allow the user to postpone installation in SCCM
