ConfigureDeadlineGracePeriod - 0 days

Question

Hi Team,

We have a query related to the "ConfigureDeadlineGracePeriod= 0days" and business hours is "Scheduled install day =Any Day & Scheduled install time =6 PM" so in that case how the 0 day works, will it give the user prompt for reboot after the scheduled install time which is 6 pm , so I assume if the user receive the update by 8 AM then he or she would get 10 hours time (reverse count down ) for a reboot even though its same day deadline with 0 grace periods?

Hello there,

For feature updates, the deadline and grace period start their countdown from the time of a pending restart after the installation is complete. As soon as installation is complete and the device reaches pending restart, the device will try to update outside of active hours. Once the effective deadline is reached, the device will try to restart during active hours. (The effective deadline is whichever is the later of the restart pending date plus the specified deadline or the restart pending date plus the grace period.)

For quality updates, the deadline countdown starts from the time the update is offered (not downloaded or installed). The grace period countdown starts from the time of the pending restart. The device will try to download and install the update at a time based on your other download and installation policies (the default is to automatically download and install in in the background). When the pending restart time is reached, the device will notify the user and try to update outside of active hours. Once the effective deadline is reached, the device will try to restart during active hours.

Hope this resolves your Query !!
