I think that is by design. I think the way Microsoft looked at it was if a user wanted ConfigMgr do "stuff" when they weren't there, then there really wasn't a need for notifications. However, the client still respects deadlines regardless of what the business hours are set to.

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.
