Description
Suspends assignments for clients on a slow link. By default, this check box is selected.
(This option is available only if at least one assignment is defined.)
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.
