    unfortunately , thats not possible with SEPM as of now
    you cannot schedule updates
    it happens based on heartbeat / push mode or pull mode
     
    there is an idea created for this but not sure when it will be implimented
    , need your vote to expediate this implimenation :)

    Thanks mate ... Time to go for alternative then :)

     

    We have 1000 of clients available with heavy applications & these clients force updates @ 8 PM the same day whenever we update our server & get unresposive and then we have to turn off our SEPM .. Sad huh :(

    You can configure the live update of sepm server for non peak hour

    after download the defintion it distribute the client

    are the clients in the LAN or distributed on WAN?

    that time SEP will go in accelarted heartbeat, meaning it wont wait for any push / pull mode, if updates available it will push out

    alternate would be to use Liveupdate administrator, you can find that in CD2 of your SEPM downloaded from file connection, here you can schedule the distribution

    in the sepm liveupdate policy, u will set your clients to get updates from Luadmin

    You can configure the the clients to Pull mode and increase the Heartbeat Interval.
