Maintenance windows do not affect the following configuration management processes:
■
Policy download and evaluation
■
Data collection and reporting of inventory and metering data
■
Remediation for Network Access Protection (NAP)
■
Transmission of Wake On LAN wake-up packets
■
Out-of-band management
■
Application deployment content downloads
■
Deployments, software-update deployments, configuration-item remediation, or task
sequences that are optional or specifically configured to ignore maintenance windows
■
User-initiated deployments
Changes to maintenance windows that occur during a maintenance window do not take
effect while the current maintenance window is in effect.
A required deployment does not run during a maintenance window that is shorter or has
less time remaining than the deployed software's configured maximum run time. For exam-
ple, a deployment that has a run time of 45 minutes does not run if only 30 minutes remain
