Use the Sync Schedule tab in the Configuration Manager 2007 Software Update Point Properties dialog box to specify whether the software update point is configured for synchronization on a schedule. The synchronization schedule is a site-wide setting and the Sync Schedule tab is available only at the highest site in the Configuration Manager 2007 hierarchy with an active software update point that synchronizes with Microsoft Update. If this software update point is configured to synchronize with an upstream server, this tab is hidden and the synchronization schedule is based on the configured site-wide schedule settings.

The Sync Schedule tab contains the following elements:
