SCCM DEPLOYMENT TYPES UPDATE

In this case ,all my deployments are set to future deadline date ,so they will never be evaluated by software update deployment evaluation cycle unless the deadline reaches and you will not see the updates in software center.

After 60 min (default ) ,client will receive the new/updated policies ,they process it and inject into wmi -but the content will not be downloaded until it reach the deadline time. Take an example that ,I have deployed few software update groups to a collection with future deadline date but available time is current date. My Observation in software updates deployments:

SCCM DEPLOYMENT TYPES DOWNLOAD

If you have set deadline to вЂAs soon as possible which means the current time on the site server, client receive the policy ,process it and download the content immediately due to deadline behaviour but for install ,it will check if MW ,if yes,wait for the MW else install the deployment. If there is future maintenance window available ,it must wait for the MW and install it. Once the download is finished, it will check for enough maintenance window ,if there is ,it will install right after the content download. In Required deployment ,content download happens only when the deployment reaches/passes the deadline date. If you have any deployments with future deadline date but not as soon possible (which means the current time when you do the deployment) ,client will not perform the evaluation of the deployment for content download ,instead it will wait for the deadline date for content download and install (if enough maintenance window available). When machine policy runs on the client, client will download the policies that are new or updated ,evaluate the policies and inject into wmi. When you create deployment ,you will have to set available time (For clients to download the policies and download the content ) and deadline time (for installation). Required: Required deployment have available time and deadline time. In this type of deployment ,deployments will not be downloaded automatically unless user initiate the deployment. When user choose to install the available deployments in Software Center ,it will start downloading the content and install it ,no matter if the client has maintenance window or not as it is initiated by User and it will proceed to install the deployment after the download but if the deployment require reboot ,it will check for MW (maintenance window) and only reboot. When you choose the type of deployment as Available ,user can see the deployments in Software Center and it will never be installed automatically unless user select and install it. ДЄvailable: Available deployments will not have any deadline and they meant for optional. In this blog post, we will see what they mean and how they work. When you create any deployment (applications,software updates,task sequence etc) ,you will see two options for вЂ Type of DeploymentвЂ™ (for software updates) ,Purpose (for applications) with Required and Available. So i will try to explain what they mean and how they work when it comes to content download. I have seen this questions often in social communities and online forums on this topic and how they work during content download.
