I can tell you it's not slated for SMS v4. Though you could always join the

That would be one of my feature requests, then...<G>

Like ZENWorks, you should be able to select a range of time over which the
action will happen, so that all network heck doesn't break out at once.

Thanks!

There's nothing built into the advertisement. You could create multiple
advertisements targeted to different collections and stagger the various
advertisements. Or you might be able to script the actual executable in
some way. But advertisements don't have a mechanism for staggered
deployment.

I'm trying to push out the McAfee SuperDAT on a recurring basis, with
the DPT's getting any updated files prior to the actual Advertisement
starting.

I have fears of all 2200 of my workstations getting the Advertisement,
and running it at the same time, killing my network. Is there a way to
force the Advertisement to stagger during a preset time?

Thanks.
