KACE Desktop Authority 11.3 - Release Notes

Timing

Common (User/Computer)

Shut down

Check this box to execute an element when a client computer is shut down.

Refresh - User Management

Check this box to execute an element at a defined interval, following a client logon. The default refresh timer is set to every 60 minutes. The default refresh interval can be changed with the use of a registry setting. This can be automated by configuring a User Management Registry element. The User Management Refresh Timing interval is a separate timing interval from the Computer Management Refresh Timing interval.

To change this interval, create a new User Management Registry element. The interval is defined by specifying the number of minutes. The default value is 60. Entering 0 will disable the Refresh.

Scheduled

Scheduled timing allows a Computer Management element to be executed at a particular time or period. Check this box to execute an element, once, daily, weekly, or monthly at a specified timeframe.

Schedule options

Schedule Type

Select to use a Custom or Named schedule for this element. A Custom schedule allows the timing specifics to be specified by selecting a Cycle, Time and/or Date. A Custom schedule can be saved as a Named schedule for reuse with other elements. A Named schedule is simply a custom schedule that was previously created and saved.

Cycle

Select a time interval for which the element will execute. Choose from Once, Daily, Weekly or Monthly.

  • Selecting Once as the cycle, will cause the element to be executed a single time on the specified time and date.
  • Selecting Daily as the cycle, allows the element to execute at the specified time, each day. Configure the selected days to Everyday, Weekdays, Selected Days (select the specific days of the week) and Every Number of Days (execute this element every xx day(s)). The number of days is configured when Every number of days is selected.
  • Selecting Weekly as the cycle allows the choice to execute the element on one or more days in the week, as well as the option to execute the element every xx weeks.
  • Selecting Monthly as the cycle allows the selection of the month(s) to execute the element on, as well as the time, and day of week or month.
Advanced options

Do not execute if element has executed within the last xx hours

If a computer is not available at the time a scheduled event occurs, select this option to allow the event to execute for the computer if the event has last been executed within the specified number of hours.

If computer is unavailable at the scheduled time, run as soon as the computer becomes available

Select this box to execute the scheduled event for a computer that has missed a previously scheduled event. The event will be executed when the computer comes back online.

UID

The UID entry is used to make each scheduled element, a unique item. The data in this entry is automatically generated and should not be modified. However, if a scheduled element in the list is set to run only once and must be executed a second time, the UID can be changed by clicking Generate New.

Save as Named Schedule

Click this button to save the Scheduled Settings for use on other elements within the profile and its children.

Note: Each timing event is not necessarily available for all objects. Only the available timing events for each object will be enabled in the Timing validation box. Timing is not an available option for the Time Synchronization, Inactivity, and Mail Profile objects.
