Daniel is correct, I don't believe winpe evaluates the start time... so as soon as you PXE, it run because it doesn't know how to interpret the start time..
Same as the OS restriction trick on the Task Sequence, to hide it from the full OS but allow PXE to run it...

Certain deployment settings such as expiration and in this case possible start time are ignored when booted directly into WinPE. Microsoft told us this a few weeks ago when we were troubleshooting why WinPE could still see expired advertisements. As far as we got, there is not a definitive list of what WinPE supports and doesn't support but I know specific OS settings and expiration are not supported and basically ignored.

It has a mandatory start time of let's say 6:00 pm. We set the "Advertisement Start Time" to 5:45 pm in this example. Our intent is that if a machine PXE boots before 5:45 pm it won't run the mandatory advertisement. But it does. The "Advertisement Start Time" is completely ignored and SCCM PXE boots the machine right into the OSD task sequence. This is a problem because we have a "utility" task sequence that our desktop support staff can boot to for doing things like USMT backups, asset tracking, etc. We may schedule a group of machines to go on Friday night, and staff will be out there in the days leading up doing the larger USMT backups and such. If they PXE boot the machine jumps right into the build. Are we missing something?
