Re: BITS and SMS

Tech-Archive recommends: Speed Up your PC by fixing your registry

Advertisement Start time was 3 days before mandatory time listed in
the middle.

Is there a way I can tell if the package as been successfully
downloaded to a client workstation prior to the mandatory kickoff
install, so I can see if it's running from the cached copy or the
server copy? I have verified that the advertisement is set to download
the program.

Thanks

Clients should indeed start downloading at "advertisement start time"
top of the scheduling page.
And start installing at the mandatory schedule in the middle of the
scheduling page.
Are both times set for different time periods?
