Description
(Windows only)
Lets you override the default download settings that are defined for the Altiris Agent.
The download settings that you can override are as follows:
Run from the server if bandwidth is above
Runs the package directly from the Notification Server computer if the bandwidth
is greater than the connection speed that you select. You also can choose to never
run from the server.
Download and run locally if bandwidth is above
Downloads the package or the command line and runs it locally if the bandwidth
is greater than the connection speed that you select.
Allow multicasting for package delivery
Uses a multicast download for the package. For this option to work, multicasting
must be enabled in the Altiris Agent settings.
This check box is not available in the Software Management Solution tasks because
they do not support multicasting.
For more information, see the topics about bandwidth throttling and multicasting
in the Symantec Management Platform Help.
Deletes the packages that are downloaded to the client computer but are not used for
the amount of time you select in the If unused for drop-down list.
The download settings for Software Management Solution delivery policies and
tasks contains the Destination download location option. This option lets you
define the directory on the destination computer in which to place the package
files. The default location is the Altiris Agent cache. You can also select an alternate
download location.
When a delivery task or policy is executed on a client computer, the
file and other delivery-related XML files are created. The download settings do
not affect the location of the XML files.
