The Set-SoftwareDistributionConfigcmdlet sets the configuration of the Mobile Device Manager software distribution service.

If a mandatory package is offered to a device, and the device reports that the installation failed, MDM software distribution waits for a specified period of days before offering the package to the managed Windows Mobile device again. You specify this time period with the ReofferPeriodInDaysparameter.
