Scheduling assignment of a package or product

If you have RM Local Support Tools and want one or more computers to receive a package at a specific time, you can use scheduling. For example, you might want to assign a particular package overnight, to ensure that it is installed on all of the target computers when they are restarted the next day.

If you choose not to schedule the assignment of a package or product, it will be installed on each specified computer as soon as the package is assigned. If a computer is offline, the package will be installed next time the computer is restarted.

To schedule assignment of a package or product

  1. From the left-hand pane, expand Picture of the Software icon Software, then expand Picture of the Packages & Products icon Packages & Products.
