software updates: this doesn't defer installation; but provides a notification countdown for reboot post software update install: the basic client agent setting under "Computer Restart", the "display a temporary notification to the user that indicates the interval before the user is logged off or the computer restarts (minutes)"
If you need a user interface for application deployments, where you can give the end user choices on deferring the install, that would be the powershell app deployment toolkit: https://psappdeploytoolkit.codeplex.com/ One of the features of the app deployment toolkit is: "The ability to allow the user to defer an installation X number of times, X number of days or until a deadline date is reached.

A challenge I am looking into is providing the user an option to defer mandatory installations, and if at all possible Windows Updates when the deadline has been reached for an 60min-120mins.

We did an in-place upgrade of Office 2010 to Office 2013 using SCCM: 1. Communicate/Schedule with users for groups of 50-100 per night (remove anyone who opts out from collection) a. Instruct laptop users to leave machines in office powered on 2. Scheduled installs for 8pm (to avoid anyone who is working late and to ensure machines have not gone to sleep) 3. Cancelled deployments if hadn’t kicked off by 4am (to avoid bad morning for end user and help desk) 4. Cached files for Office 2013 (and also Visio and Project 2013 as necessary) 5. Deployed front-end that gave user a 5 min countdown: a. Defer for 60 mins b. Defer for 10 mins c. Run Now d. Cancel and Reschedule for later 6. If User chooses to Run Now (or no user present) a. Reboot b. Run Office 2010 uninstall c. Reboot d. Run Office 2013 install e. Reboot 7. Send log file from client along the way to a network share to allow monitoring of status (cancelled/deferred/uninstallphase/installphase/errors) We used hklm\system\setup\cmdline keys to run the uninstall/install similar to a Windows Update or Mini-Setup before the user can login (to avoid them relaunching Office apps and interfering with install: https://social.technet.microsoft.com/forums/windows/en-US/b942a34d-c4a7-489c-bb01-45dd65fa9b20/setuptype-and-cmdline-at-hkeylocalmachinesystemsetup From:[email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Todd Hemsell Sent: Tuesday, December 30, 2014 12:02 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [mssms] RE: [ConfigMgrMVPs] Blogpost: Is Intune going to re place Configuration Manager? precache office then install.
