It is my understanding that when I set a software update deployment as Available within a week out (or any future timeframe for that matter) instead of As soon as possible, the updates will begin downloading to the client's ccmcache in random order. However, the updates will not actually be visible in Software Center or notify the users until the Available date has arrived.
Is this a correct assessment?
I am just wanting to ensure that when the Available date has arrived, the SCCM flood gates will not open suddenly and saturate the network with a large update that I am deploying. I am wanting the update to trickle into the ccmcache prior to the Available date so it will already be downloaded and ready to go for the users to install in Software Center.
Thanks
