      Deferred Deployment Scheduling Scenario Examples

      • If an update release occurs on Wednesday, the first day of the month, and the network administrator selects a 7-day deferral period without selecting a preferred update day, then the deferred upgrade will occur on the following Wednesday, the 8th day of the month.
      • If an update release occurs on Wednesday, the first day of the month, and the network administrator selects a 7-day deferral period and has selected a preferred update day of Wednesday, then the deferred upgrade will occur on the following Wednesday, the 8th day of the month). 
      • If an update release occurs on Wednesday, the first day of the month, and the network administrator selects a 7-day deferral period and has selected a preferred update day of Sunday, then the deferred update will occur on Sunday, the 12th day of the month.
      • If an update release occurs on Wednesday, the first day of the month, and the network administrator selects a 7-day deferral period and has selected a preferred update day of Monday, then the deferred upgrade will occur on Monday, the 6th day of the month.

        Schedule Updates: You can choose to automatically update endpoint groups or you can choose to defer endpoint group updates for a period between 1 and 30 days. This can be useful in validating a new endpoint release on a few devices prior to updating endpoint for all users on your network. To schedule endpoint group updates, complete the following:

        • Automatic Updates: Select Automatic updates to have endpoint updates installed automatically.
        • Schedule Updates: Select Schedule updates, to manually choose the day and time, and duration for endpoint group updates.

          • Duration: Choose local endpoint time zone and duration when upgrades are to be performed.  The time of day and the duration period where the system will attempt to perform the update process. You can select a duration period between 4 hours and 10 hours, in one hour increments. 
        • Defer Updates: Updates can be deferred for a maximum of 28 days with the flexibility to choose a specific day of the week and time for deployment, regardless of the original scheduled release date. The option to defer upgrades for a period of up to four weeks with abilty to select a day and time means the deferred update schedule does not have to be adjusted within the Cloud Services Portal in the anticipation of each new BloxOne Endpoint update release. Scheduled deferred updates are perfomed based on the timezone where the local endpoint resides. To defer updates, perform the following, delect Defer Updates and performm the following:
          • Always defer upgrades for: From among vthe list of options, select a deferment period. You can select a duration period of  0 hours to 28 days, with a mximum deferment perios of 28 days.   
          • Days of te week to perform upgrades: Select a day or the days of a week upgrades are to be performed. Or Select All to perform upgrades on all days of the week.
