Send Wake-up Packets
This check box is cleared by default. Selecting this check box
causes a wake-up packet to be sent to devices when the application is scheduled to
be deployed. If the device supports Wake On LAN and if the device is turned off, the
device is turned on to begin the deployment.

Allow Clients On A Metered Internet Connection To Download Content After
The Installation Deadline, Which Might Incur Additional Costs
When you enable
this option, clients on metered connections download content automatically when the
specified deadline is reached. If the mobile client is on a limited mobile Internet access
plan, this could result in many overage minutes.
When deploying to a user, the same settings are available, with one additional option. If the
Install action with the Available purpose is selected, the Require Administrator Approval If Users
Request This Application check box appears and is cleared by default. If you select this check
box, users can request the application from Application Catalog. However, the application will
not be deployed until an appropriate Configuration Manager administrator approves it.
Scheduling
On the Specify The Schedule For This Deployment page, shown in Figure 2-7, the options that
are visible in this section depend on how you deploy the application. When deploying an
application, consider the following scheduling options:

Specify The Schedule For This Deployment
■
The default setting is to make the application available as soon as possible to ensure
that applications are available immediately.
■
You can configure the application to be available at a specific time.
When the application is deployed with the Available purpose, the available time is
based on Coordinated Universal Time (UTC).
