So while the except posted by Daniel does refer to deadline time, my statement still stands.

However, if my understanding is correct, the downloads wouldn't all begin immediately after the available time anyway. The updates are just made available for clients to discover/download at that time. Each client would still check in at different times, so there would be some spread of downloads over time.

This reduces the impact of all client computers in the destination collection from installing the software updates in the deployment at the same time."

At this point, it can be installed manually and force the install at deadline schedule. FYI. Don't set the available schedule if you have thousands of endpoints, it may overload you servers because all the client are going to hit the server at the same time. When you use available now or default, clients start scan and download next pol check which is more random. Cesar A. Meaning is NOT in words, but inside people! Dr. Myles Munroe.

I create a deployment with an available time of an hour’s time. For that first hour, does absolutely nothing happen or does it perform a scan, download the updates in the background and then once the available time is reached, the applicable updates appear in the software center? I’m also interested in what happens if you create a deployment with an available time of as soon as possible but disable it. Does any scanning and downloading occur? Daniel.
