Thanks, but the problem is not whether or how long it takes for the clients to receive the advertisement, but the delay between receiving the advertisement and running the program.
I am trying to run some programs overnight. Although all the clients receive the advertisement overnight some of the clients do not run the programs until a day or more later.
It shouldnt take that long to run the advertised program. When priority is set to high and the schedule is ASAP, then it usually takes 15 mins to run. Maybe you should try to schedule the exact time that it runs.
I have tried scheduling a time for the program to run. Same results. What I have noticed is that the programs seem to run quicker if a user is logged into the system even though the program is configured to run whether or not a user is logged onto the system.
The client is set up to check for new advertisements every 60 minutes (default). This should not matter, since the clients do receive the advertisements pretty much right away. The problem is the program is scheduled to run as soon as possible, but it does not.
Which SP level you are running your Sites ?
I know there is/was an issue concerning the option "Run as soon as possible" for the program in SP4 and SP4 HRP....
I started this thread wondering if it is possible to manipulate how fast a program can run after receiving an advertisement. Now, I am beginning to wonder if perhaps this is the way SMS operates, and that the lag between receiving advertisement and running the program is not a bug/problem.
Originally, I thought that this may be due to the lack of distribution points on my site. However, I receive the same results/lag whether performing an install on a test bed consisting of a couple of clients, or onto our network consisting of a few hundred clients. Does anyone know what are the criteria that determine when a client runs a program?
I have same problem. I was told by an sms expert that it may be the fact that my SQL database is shared by other SQL databases. Microsoft reccomends that the SQL database has its own server.
I have yet to try moving the sms database. Iwould be interested to know if this in fact is the problem.
I try to push out a 325mb package to 80 clients overnight.
Only 50 complete by next morning. We are actually looking for another software package that will do a better job of this.
The SMS database resides on a dedicated server. Interested to know what kind of package you are pushing out, and whether or not a user is required for the program to be run.
