Use the Schedule tab in the Configuration Manager 2007 <SMS 2003 Advertisement Name> Properties dialog box to specify when and how a program is made available to client computers.

Note
When you click OK or Apply, Configuration Manager 2007 ensures that any assignment schedule entries do not occur before the Advertisement start time.

The Schedule tab contains the following elements:

Note
If you select the UTC option, the program will be advertised on all clients simultaneously.
