Greetings;
I have researched this question but I have to throw in the proverbial towel.
In CMS 7.1 SP2, In the console, under Settings you can set the "Default Software Update Plug-in Policy" for scheduling patch installations. Under the "Schedule:" section, there is a field that states "During window, check every:" with a field to enter a time.
My question is: What is the result of having a check every value of "0 Hours", or "0 Minutes"? Does it disable the check, constantly check, or produce some other unexpected result perhaps???
I'm asking since we are exploring ways to minimize required reboots after the update cycle, Hopefully setting the "check every" value to zero will produce a situation where the the client agent will only check one time during the deployment window (which is set to a 2 hour period for user predictability) . Currently users are complaining of repeating reboots even though we have "at end of software update cycle" checked. The most likely suspect is a failed patch out of a set which tried a second or third time, was successful, and rebooted the PC again.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated...
