7.2 Scheduling and Reporting Agent Deployment

To reduce the impact on performance in your production environment, you can schedule the agent deployment to occur at specified times. For example, you might want to schedule agent installations to occur when the system experiences less traffic, such as early Sunday morning. Alternatively, if you have a large number of agents to update, you might want to schedule the updates for groups of agents to occur at different times.

When the deployment process completes, Secure Configuration Manager creates a report containing the successful and failed results. In the Deployment wizard, you can choose to distribute the report to specified email recipients, a folder, or a file share. Secure Configuration Manager always adds a copy of the completed report to the Completed jobs queue.
