postpone restarting if needed. If the action is postponed, the user will be reminded to restart
the Mac later. If there are other packages waiting to be installed on the Mac, they will be
installed only after the Mac is restarted.

action is postponed, the user will be reminded to log off later. The Parallels Mac Client will

as long as theinstallation completes without errors. The Mac Client will send the detailed
installation results to the Configuration Manager as soon as the user logs off and then logs
on again. If there are other packages waiting to be installed on the Mac, the installation will
begin only after the user logs off and then logs on again.
