Client Management Suite

Hi i'm trying to achieve to send Delivery Task to a Target Filter with 2,000 client inside. For example, I do not want the Task to execute all 2,000 clients at the same time. I want first 100 clients to start at 9:00am and another to start at 10am. I do not want to create Multiple Filters with 100 clients inside.

Is there better way to do this? I'm now exploring ASDK function for Task Management. Can this be done using Managed Delivery. Any feedbacks are welcome.

Thanks,

M

Why do you want to do this?

A possible solution might be changing SELECT to SELECT TOP 100 in your query, so that only 100 results are displayed.  If the filter is defined to include only those computers that are not compliant to whatever the policy is, systems will drop out once they install the software, report back inventory, and update the filter.  This would only work if the inventory is part of basic inventory, or if your filter is based on a targeted software inventory that runs on a more frequent schedule.

Thanks Mike for your suggestion. The reason that I'm trying to do it that Task is immediate action once that is enable once the Task Update run, it will get the task right away, which lead to having 2000 client that will get this task and download the package and run.

Again the best options I can think of:

1. Create Group of Filters with 100 client each and add to Task or MD individually

2. Use Managed Delivery to download the Package first with dummy command line inside and schedule the installation Task to run at different timing.

3. Is to try out your suggestion of using Filter with SELECT TOP 100 and the Condition inside.

Please let me know if you have any better solutions. Thanks.
