Deployments |
TimeoutSpecify how many minutes deployments should run before being timed out by the server. This timeout applies only to the duration of a deployment to a computer. The timeout does not include the initial process of copying installation files to the target. Default value is 60 minutes. For individual packages that may take longer than an hour (such as a Windows Service Pack or a package containing many Nested Packages) it is recommended to increase this value at the Package Properties level. CleanupThe cleanup process ensures that old deployment history is cleared out. You can set this value higher or lower depending on how many deployments you create and for how long you wish to see the results of finished deployments. The default age is 30 days (i.e. one month after the deployment finished). Setting the cleanup to 0 days will disable automatic cleanup and all deployments will need to be deleted manually. Note keeping this value high (or unlimited) could cause the PDQ Deploy database to get very large which could slow down PDQ Deploy. ScanningInitiate a scan with PDQ Inventory after a deployment. This can be very helpful in maintaining up-to-date inventory for target machines. The target computer must already be in PDQ Inventory with a name or host name that matches the name used in PDQ Deploy.Since the vast majority of deployments involve installing applications it is a Best Practice have the Scan After Deployment set to scan computers using the Applications Scan Profile.This can also be set in individual packages which will override the default setting here. For example, if you have a package that doesn't install an application then you may want to disable this feature in the Package Properties.Pro Mode is required to use scanning.Note Requires PDQ Inventory version 3.1 or later in Pro Mode.Offline Settings
Pro Mode or higher is required to use the Wake-on-LAN option.Note Wake-on-LAN option requires PDQ Inventory to be installed and the target computer to have been scanned to get its MAC address. Offline Retry Queue
