Q: As an IT Admin, how can I ensure that the Yammer Desktop app will always be installed when an end user logs in?

A: When an end user uninstalls the Yammer Desktop app, we preserve this decision after the uninstall by writing a file, '%localappdata%yammerdesktop.dead'. The presence of this file prevents the Yammer Machine-Wide Installer from reinstalling the app the next time the user logs in to their machine. To override the end users decision, delete the '%localappdata%yammerdesktop.dead' file.

In-product prompts (shown in Web client)

You can also download and install the app from the right pane in Yammer when you see one of the following prompts.

IT administrators: if your users get new software via managed distribution methods (such as SCCM), contact support if you want to disable these in-product prompts to download and install the app.
