Deploying the IFS EE Extension to all users via a software-deployment tool (like ConfigMgr) running in SYSTEM context fails, even though installing it manually with a locally-admin user account works fine. Is there a way to deploy it without requiring local admin rights?

Answer

A version of the IFS EE Extension released starting with Apps10 UPD6 was specifically modified so it can be installed without requiring local administrator rights or elevation on the target machine, resolving exactly this kind of 'works manually as an admin account, fails via unattended SYSTEM-context deployment' symptom. If your environment is below UPD6, either upgrade to UPD6 or later, or contact IFS support to request this fix as a standalone single patch rather than a full update, since installing without elevation isn't possible on pre-UPD6 versions of the extension.

Documentation-based answer. Confirm the product and release before applying it. This answer has not been verified in an IFS environment.
