Suppressing notifications for SCCM App-V Packages

App-V packages/programs do not give you the option to suppress notifications for the program.  They pop up by default.  You can override this by running the following VBScript.  Save the code to a file ending with .vbs, change the packageID value, then run it.  No more notifications!

If Provider.ProviderForLocalSite = True Then
Set objSCCM = objLocator.ConnectServer(Provider.Machine, "root\sms\site_" & Provider.SiteCode)
' strSMSSiteCode = Loc.Sitecode
End If

Set objProgram = objSCCM.Get("SMS_Program.PackageID='" & strPackageID & "',ProgramName='" & strProgramName & "'")

ProgramFlags = objProgram.ProgramFlags

ProgramFlags = ProgramFlags + 1024
WScript.Echo "Set flag to: " & ProgramFlags
objProgram.ProgramFlags = ProgramFlags
