We have an advertised program that is not always proceeding the way we want it to. We want it to give the user 30 minutes to select an install and if no action to postpone the install and re-occur the next day. It should give the user 5 days to install and then it will automatically install. There have been no changes to the advertisement to give the different results. I have pasted the monitor shots from the systems it is advertised to and input the results. Some systems have unscheduled and Not assigned and some are the opposite. Can someone look at the ad settings and tell me if it is set to run the way we want and if you can give me any idea as to why the package is installing without intervention it is greatly appreciated. I don’t want to send it out if all the results are not the same. All operating systems are XP.

System CROW0040
Added to collection Wednesday AM. Patch installed with no intervention which is not what we want. In the APM it shows as unscheduled and assigned=NO.

System CROW0037

Wait 30 minutes for user. After waiting postpone installation.
Wait 45 minutes for the update and cancel the installation.
Allow users to postpone installation for 5 days from time detected.
Detect and postpone system restarts for both servers and workstations.

The systems are not being rebooted, status message says reboot suppressed with no user intervention.




 
I would like to see in the logs on the client machines if I can tell why the package is installing with no intervention. Can anyone tell me what log to look in to see about advertised programs client agent installs?
