I’d like to be able to set a cutoff time for “Apply on connect” offline behavior when using schedules.
It’s also not very clear what happens if the machine comes on after the execute time, does it run D+E phases immediately?
It would good to have a cutoff or expiration time for the Apply on connect window for schedules
Sample schedule is:
Detection runs Tuesdays @ 4:45PM ET, Execution @ 10PM ET
I’d like for systems that come online during this detection window (Between Detection and Execution window ONLY) to run the detection step and notify the user.
The other user scenario is the system is online during the detection window but they don’t see the email until the next day and missed the 10PM execution window. How long does that pending session sit (assuming no Apply on Connect) and can the user click “update now” in that email notice the following day to run on demand maintenance when they want?
We have a client that is not doing the Apply on Connect for Full Maintenance (even though I am trying to push them to do this) I feel FM doesn’t work well if apply on connect is not on, from what I am seeing if you have the detection set to run at 2:00pm but their computer was off and they turn it on say at 2:30pm the detection will be linked to the apply on connect as well right? (and therefore not run)
one main example of not wanting the apply on connect: this is a law firm and will have court via zoom, we can have the “prompt” option turned on and also the “Don’t reboot during business hours” but these don’t do anything if say zoom doesn’t need to reboot. It will kill Zoom to update the app and therefore kick the attorney out of their meeting.
can apply on connect, apply for the same day to cover someone powering on their computer shortly after the detection period.
or more so for the next day are there future goals if we do have Apply on connect turned on where the prompt won;t just apply to reboots but overall to the maintenance as a whole and give the user the option to cancel before it kicks them out of the zoom meeting (sometime the zoom meeting might be in full screen and not see a popup as well which just adds another layer to it)
