Software Delivery Task
Created: 28 May 2009 | 3 comments
It would be great if we could set software delivery task to happen at logoff. I would structure it like Microsoft does for home users that have automatic update turned on.

Awesome Idea
I agree!!!

That is a good idea!
I have actually done that very thing through some scripting and the temporary set up of a local group policy, but it wasn't pretty. It would be nice if they would build it in as an option!
SWD indeed has plenty scope for improvement!
I thought software delivery tasks can be actioned at logoff. The big problem with it is can't tell the difference between a logoff and a shutdown ;-)
I generally agree that Software Delivery Solution is lacking a major piece of functionality in allowing software to be installed free of file locks from user activity,
In most of our software delivery we have have to use a slight-of-hand with scheduled tasks to get reliable rollouts, which effectively renders SWD as a file copy engine. Not great.... but we couldn't see any alternative.
