Description
Enables users to run the program independent of when it is assigned. By default,
this check box is cleared. (This option is available only if at least one assignment is
defined.)
Typically, only non-assigned programs are visible to users in the Configuration
Manager client interface. Use this option to display an assigned program in the
client interface. For example, to require users to upgrade their Microsoft Office
software, you specify an assignment in the advertisement properties. But if you
want to enable users to run the installation program before it is scheduled to run
automatically, select this option so that the assigned program appears in
Advertised Programs Wizard in the Control Panel on client computers.
Advertises the program to clients only for a limited time. By default, this option is
cleared. This feature is not supported on 16-bit clients; the program appears until
it runs on the client.
Note • When a program expires, it no longer appears in Advertised Programs Monitor or
Advertised Programs Wizard in Control Panel on client computers.To specify the cutoff date
and time, click the arrows next to the date and time. The default values are six months from
the current date and time.
Greenwich Mean Time—Set the time independent of time zones. That is, if you
set the time to 1:00 P .M. and select this option, the program will expire at all
computers simultaneously—1:00 P .M. for clients in the Greenwich mean time
zone, 10:00 A.M. for clients in the Eastern time zone, and 7:00 A.M. for clients in
the Pacific time zone, and so on. This check box is cleared by default, which
enables you to specify a relative time. Configuration Manager will treat the
specified time as a local time. In this case, if the time is set to 1:00 P .M., the
program will expire at 1:00 P .M. on clients in each time zone.
The advertisement's priority when sent to child sites: High, Medium, or Low. The
default priority is Medium.
