Considerations for scheduling push installations

When scheduling push installations:
• Consider other network tasks. Pushing to a large number of computers simultaneously
can produce a high volume of network traffic, so schedule push installations for times when
they will not affect other network tasks.
• Make sure the target computers are turned on. The Push Install utility installs client
software on target computers that are online and turned on when the push takes place.
• Make sure users are not using the target computers. Restarting a client computer
while a push installation is in progress can cause the computer to become unstable, so
schedule push installations for times when users will not be using their computers.
We recommend scheduling a push installation for the middle of the night, and sending users
an email during the day asking them to leave their computers turned on overnight.
