The balloon tip when System Center configuration manager 2012 SP1 / R2 wants to install your software is only shown for a few seconds. Often users complain that they can’t read the balloon tip that fast. So we have to increase the display time of the balloon.
Right click and choose New, Registry Item
Key Path: HKCU\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\TrayNotify
Value name: Balloontip
Value type: REG_DWORD
Value Data (dec): 00000020
Click OK and you’re all set!
This changes the display time to 20 seconds.
You can handle this with creating a Configuration Item and deploying it thru a Configuration Baseline . Below you will find the steps :
1. Create a configuration Item called “ RegSetting BalloonTip “
2. In the settings , create the regkey to check as specified above in the first section of this blog post .
3. Create the compliance Rule and enter the value you want . In this case it will be 20 seconds.
4. Save your configuration Item. Create a Configuration baseline that contains you Configuration Item and deploy it to your workstations. Make sure to select “Remediate non complaint rules when supported” in your deployment.
Hope it Helps ,
