Ok, two possibilities come to mind. 1) that's a 3 hour service window. Whatever it is you are installing, if you cumulatively manually figure out the time you have set for "how long it might take to install this"... is it more than 3 hours? or even exactly 3 hours? It might not bother to try until there is a service window big enough. 2) (less likely) locally using Client Center, check if the box has local service windows applied... and it's basically locked out every time anyway; so nothing will ever install unless you check the override.

I think you are under a misconception. If a box is in a service window, based on ANY collection, ANYWHERE... it is in a service window. It's not "per deployment". It's "per machine". If you want a machine to ignore it's service window for any particular deployment, you need to check the box about ignoring a service window for that deployment.

The deployment collection does not have a maintenance window applied but logs show that the deployment is “ready” then “waiting for service window”. This is becoming very frustrating. Is there something that I am missing during the deployment configuration? I know these systems are part of another collection that have a 3 – 6am window but I am trying to deploy the software at that time anyway.
