Hi Folks,
The more I read through these forums on how the Maintenance Window works the more I feel my deployment was set-up correctly. However, I had a number of workstations unexpectedly install Win7 SP1 and restart during business hours (which are defined as 06:00 to 23:00 with a Configuration Baseline).
My SP1 deployment is set-up as follows:
- Set as Install, Required, pre-deploy software to user's primary device (checked),
- Advertised at 08:30 with a deadline of 23:30 the same day (last Friday)
- User Experience is 'Show All Notifications', and has 'Software Installation' and 'System Restart (if required to complete the installation)' unchecked.
- No restart flags specified on SP1 command line, just using /quiet and /nodialog
- Should Config Manager enforce specific behaviour regardless of the applications intended behaviour set to 'No specific action'
However, a small number of users turned their workstations off when leaving last Friday. When they came in today (Monday morning) the installation was triggered straightway.
Checking the logs at one of those affected I can see that the Maintenance Window is detected but for some reason is not honoured. I can't see any mention of the user triggering the restart either.
Am I missing something?
Thanks,
Mic
