    If the default is 60 minutes then this means that machine policy will be
    polled every 60 minutes regardless if a user is logged on or not. However,
    if someone is not logged in then user policies will not be requested. User
    policies are policies when you create an advertisement and target it to a
    collection whose members are users or user groups and not machines.

    For your second question I am not sure when you want to distribute your
    application.

    If you want to distribute your application only when a user is logged on
    then you have an option to specify to run the program in logged on user's
    context or in system context. If users in your environment don't have rights
    to install your application then you probably should go with selecting run
    in admin context. User interaction check-box only comes into picture if you
    are running program in admin context and you want user to see installation
    progress or give input to any dialog box messages. Remember that this is a
    security risk that is why by default SMS doesn't allow this. If you want to
    get more information about security implication then it is commonly known as
    'Shatter Attack'.

    On other hand, if you want your application to be installed regardless if
    someone is logged in or not, then you should select to run weather or not a
    user is logged on and run with Admin rights.

    Use software installation account setting is only for SMS Legacy clients and
    this checkbox doesn't make any difference on SMS Advanced client.

    Does this answer your question?
