On the Deployment Settings page, provide the following information:
■
Type of deployment
Here you select between Required and Available. When you
select Required, software updates install automatically on clients before the config-
ured installation deadline.
■
Use Wake-on-LAN to wake clients for required deployments
If you have
configured, and your clients support Wake-on-LAN, special packets will be sent to
client computers that are in a low power state to wake them for update installation.
This option is only available for the Required deployment type.
■
Detail level
This configures the level of detail for state messages reported back to
Configuration Manager by clients.
5.
On the Scheduling page, configure the following information:
■
Schedule Evaluation
This setting determines whether the deadline time is calcu-
lated using UTC, or the computer's local time.
■
Software Available Time
Use this setting to specify whether the updates will
become available at a particular time, or that the client will be aware of them when
it next polls the Configuration Manager server.
■
Installation Deadline
Allows you to specify a deadline for update installation.
You can also choose for updates to be installed as soon as possible.
6.
On the User Experience page, specify the type of notification users will receive about
software update download and installation. You also configure what happens when the
deadline is reached, and what happens if the computer requires a restart to complete
installation.
7.
On the Alerts page, specify how Configuration Manager and Operations Manager will
generate alerts related to this deployment. This option is only available if the deploy-
ment type is set to Required.
On the Download Settings page, shown in Figure 5-33, you configure whether the
clients will download the software locally and then install them if connected to a slow
network, whether to use BranchCache when obtaining content, and whether to use the
Microsoft Update servers to obtain updates if a distribution point is not available.
