I'm not sure if this is a bug, feature, or I'm missing something. When
users set their business hours and check "Automatically install or
uninstall required software and restart the computer only outside of the
specified business hours", they no longer get prompts about required
deployments.

To test this, I've created a deployment that is available at 8:50AM with a
deadline of 9:00AM. My two test machines are set for 6AM - 6PM business
hours, and only one of them has  "Automatically install or uninstall
required software and restart the computer only outside of the specified
business hours" checked.

When 8:50 hits, I do an application policy update and the machine that
doesn't have this check box checked shows the notification about the
software and allows the user to schedule their install. The other machine
shows no prompts. When 9:00AM hits, both computers install the application
and notifications work as expected (Downloading / Installing / Install
complete all show correctly).

The problem is, there aren't any prompts warning users an application is
about to be installed when they check to automatically install or uninstall
only outside of business hours, even if the application is set to install
during business hours. I'd like to tell users about this feature and let
them set their own schedules, but we need prompts to come up to let them
know something is about to install.

I'm doing device deployments.
