Thanks Andy, does "Computer is connected to the Network" mean that the client needs to see the Altiris server as I have done a test with this setting and it seemed to have been triggered if when I knew the computer couldn't see the Altiris server.
It seemed to work if the computer was connected to any network.
This is how I tested it
In the policy
set the time for schedule windows start time to 10 mins ahead of the current time
Set the "During windows, check every : 1 min
Set "Repeat" to daily
on the advance button ticked
- Computer is connected to the network.
save policy
On a clean computer (using vmware and snapshots)
update local agent to see policy
notice that the next sechdule date is the same as the start time of the "Schedule Window"
next go into the network adaptor and set ip to 192.168.0.1
ping the altiris server to make sure it can not see it.
Wait for the time to pass
When the client hits the "Schedule Window" it still start the policy even though the advnace settings on the server was set to "Computer is connected to the network"
So I don't think this setting it working as we expected it to, as in along as the computer is connected to any network the policy will start.
This option does appear to work if I totally dissconct the network cable
