Scheduing is a Pro Mode feature.
PDQ Deploy Pro Mode provides a number of ways to schedule software for later deployment.
Possible scheduling scenarios includes:
- Run once in the future such as "tonight at 10:00 pm"
- Every month on the same day such as the 5th or 10th
- Every month on the same day of the week such as the 1st Monday
- Every day at the same time
You can even kick off a deployment from other tools, such as Windows Scheduler, for even more flexibility.
Schedule Example
Select your Installer in the left pane. In this case we'll select Adobe Reader 10. Click the "New Schedule" button at the right.
A new window labeled "Schedule" opens. Select your Schedule Type and insert your start date/time.
Select your targets by clicking "Import" and choosing a method to find computers. Alternatively you can manually type your computer names in the "Computer Name" field.
Select the computers for the install and move them to the Selected Computers pane. In this example we selected from an Active Directory container. PDQ Deploy also support PDQ Inventory and Spiceworks.
Verify that the computers listed are those you want for the deployment and click OK to schedule the push.
You can see your scheduled deployment from the main PDQ window when you click on the Installer or the All Schedules icon (left pane).
