Deployment Name Properties: SMS 2003 Settings Tab
Use the SMS 2003 Settings tab in the Configuration Manager 2007 deployment name properties dialog box to deploy software updates to SMS 2003 clients that are members of the target collection. This page does not display if any of the software updates in the deployment are not deployable to SMS 2003 clients. Software updates from the Microsoft Update catalog and synchronized using Inventory Tool for Microsoft Updates catalog can be deployed to SMS 2003 clients.
The SMS 2003 Settings tab contains the following elements:
Deploy software updates to SMS 2003 clients
Specifies whether to deploy the software updates in the deployment to SMS 2003 clients that are in the target collection. A package, package instruction files, and advertisement are created and sent to child SMS 2003 sites to support the update installation on SMS 2003 clients. By default, this setting is not enabled.重要
When this setting is disabled in an active deployment that includes SMS 2003 clients, this setting cannot be enabled again. The corresponding program and advertisement created for SMS 2003 clients are disabled. Before permanently disabling this deployment for SMS 2003 clients, make sure this is the intended action.
- Collect hardware inventory immediately
Specifies whether to collect hardware inventory on SMS 2003 clients immediately following software update installation. This increases reporting accuracy but might increase system activity on the SMS 2003 clients. By default, the check box is not selected and hardware inventory is collected during its scheduled hardware inventory cycle.
When a distribution point is available locally
Specifies that SMS 2003 clients handle software update installation when the updates are available on a local distribution point according to the following options:Run update installation from distribution point: Specifies that the software updates are installed from the distribution point.
Download updates from distribution point and then run installation: Specifies that the software updates are downloaded from the distribution point and then installed on the client. This is the default setting.
警告
When software updates are downloaded and then installed on SMS 2003 clients, all updates contained in the package are downloaded regardless of applicability for the client. When deployment packages contain a lot of updates that might not be applicable to the SMS 2003 client, you should consider whether to run the update installation directly from the distribution point.
When no distribution point is available locally
Specifies that SMS 2003 clients handle software update installation when the updates are available only on remote distribution points according to the following options:Do not run update installation: Specifies that the software update installation will not run. This is the default setting.
Download updates from a remote distribution point prior to update installation: Specifies that the software updates are downloaded from the distribution point and then installed on the client.

注意
It is highly recommended that you enable Background Intelligent Transfer Service (BITS) on distribution points that are used for software updates when downloading the updates from the distribution point and then installing them. If BITS is enabled on the distribution point, disconnection from the network during the software updates download does not cause the deployment to fail because BITS resumes the download, starting where it was interrupted, the next time the client has network access. If BITS is not enabled on the distribution point and a network problem occurs during the software updates download, the software updates installation fails.
