Make the Patch Management schedule the same as Software Delivery schedule

Patch Management
Add the ability to configure software update tasks to install ASAP after the scheduled install time.
Currently, if a computer misses the schedule, it will not run / receive the update. If the schedule is 2 a.m. and the computer is always offline during this time, the computer will never receive the patch.
Cheers,
Peter

Absolutely
This would be helpful. The only way to manage that now is to set a recurring schedule for installation.
I think that Maintenance Windows in NS7/Patch 7 would help with this too, since they will block any installations (by default) outside of the defined Maintenance window.

Add the ability to configure software update tasks to install ASAP after the scheduled install time. Include this new feature for both the global and custom install schedules.

How Product Would Be Used
How would you use the product if this new feature were added?
This would allow software update tasks to install ASAP on laptops that are not on the network during the scheduled software update installation time. Currently, laptops require months to install software update tasks due to the limited time they are connected to the network.
