Description
Every task inherits the default settings that control how the task runs.
You can override the default settings for a particular task.
See
on page 70.
When you use the Quick Delivery wizard to create the task, you select
the destinations during the wizard. Those destinations apply to that
instance of the task only. You do not have to schedule the task because
it runs as soon as possible.
When you edit the task or create it without the wizard, you define the
schedule and the delivery destinations every time you run the task.
Your options for scheduling the task are as follows:
Run the task now.
This option runs the task as soon as possible, unless it must wait
for a maintenance window.
Schedule the task to run at a specific time.

Management Solution"
The Software Management reports let you monitor the software
deliveries.
The delivery reports provide information about the status of the
software downloads and executions. For example, the software
downloads for each computer, including the status and the download
date.

The Quick Delivery wizard is the fastest and easiest way to create and run a Quick
Delivery task with minimum configuration. During the wizard, you specify the
software resource to deliver, the action to perform, and the destinations to deliver
to. The resulting Quick Delivery task runs as soon as possible without further
configuring or scheduling. We recommend that non-administrators use the Quick
Delivery wizard because it provides the fewest options and therefore the fewest
opportunities for errors.
