Use the Display/Time Settings tab in the Configuration Manager 2007 deployment name properties dialog box to configure whether users are notified of pending software updates and see the update installation progress, whether a client evaluates the deployment schedule based on local time or UTC, and the duration setting that is used to set the default deadline time in a deployment.
The Display/Time Settings tab contains the following elements:
- Allow display notifications on clients
- Specifies that display notifications are used on clients that inform end users of available software updates and progress indicators are displayed during software update installation. By default, this setting is selected and display notifications are allowed on clients.
- Suppress display notifications on clients
- Specifies that display notifications are not used on clients and progress indicators are not displayed during update installation. Software update notification icons will still display on clients and users can click this icon to see available updates.
- Client Local Time
- Specifies that clients use their local time to evaluate the schedules for when software updates become available on clients and when deadlines enforce software update installation, if enabled.
- UTC
- Specifies that clients use UTC to evaluate schedules for when software updates become available on clients and when deadlines enforce software update installation. By default, this setting is selected and UTC is used to evaluate deployment schedules.
- Duration
- Specifies the duration, which is used when a template is used while creating a deployment. The deadline setting in the deployment defaults to the time an update is available plus the configured duration setting. By default, the duration is set at 2 weeks.
