A configuration policy parameter, DSM/software delivery/Manager/Computer evaluation policy, controls whether the entire ad hoc functionality should be switched on or off for all groups, thus overriding the individual group configurations. By default, the entire ad hoc functionality is switched on.
When agents are locked by either moving, roaming, or reinstall after crash operations and are scheduled for ad hoc evaluation, the evaluation attempt will be aborted and a new attempt made later. You can control the delay time using the configuration parameter ‘Software policy evaluation: Ad-Hoc task evaluation delay time locked targets’ with a default delay time of 30 minutes for the next evaluation attempt. This parameter lets you better control the evaluation behavior than through the configuration parameter ‘Software policy evaluation: Ad-Hoc task evaluation delay time’, which has a default delay time of 10 minutes.
