Order condition sets

Scheduling jobs

Altiris Deployment Solution™ from Symantec User's Guide
See also Deployment tasks
By specifying and ordering different sets of conditions, you can determine when a task
executes based on defined computer properties. Each condition is processed in sequence
until the computer matches the condition defined within a set. If the computer does not
meet any of the defined conditions, it runs the default condition. Once a match is found,
the set of tasks for this condition set is processed.
