By default, the CapaInstaller Client will run all day, every day, following the schedule established when it was deployed. However, you may wish to configure some or all client computers with a limited range of days and/or times during which the client should run. There are several reasons why you might do this, including:
-
To help ensure that users are not interrupted during business hours.
-
To limit the network traffic generated by software installations to off-peak hours
-
To stage larger deployments, by running schedules that spreads out the network traffic generated by CapaInstaller.
The calendar groups feature of the CapaInstaller Console enables you to establish one or more schedules and to assign computer units to each of them, just as you would with other types of static groups. When a computer belongs to a calendar group, it will only run its CapaInstaller client during the days and times established by that group. During these “on periods,” the client will follow the schedule defined for the CapaInstaller Management server
