Hi, recently few users reported that there is a pop up windows in the middle of the day. Eventually, I came across one on my own computer.
I review the log at approximately the time when the pop up appear, I found a event like this (log file attached).
<event date='04/19/2017 13:00:55.5710000 +08:00' severity='4' hostName='LHKRHO45CCDT' source='ProgramExec' module='smfagent.dll' process='AeXNSAgent.exe' pid='7452' thread='29368' tickCount='673691331' >

</event>
I found that it is related to MSRT-001. Then I looked up the policy "Advanced" tab, I found the command line..
Command Line
I suspect the pop up is due to the "call" function.
I used to think all the patching work should be in silent mode, anyone have similar experience?
