I have a question about how scheduling and preloading packages can work together ( if they can?)?

I usually deploy MS patches with a scheduled time, so that the patches are installed on all clients at the same day during startup.

For Example:

Monday I announce Patches for our clients for tuesday.

On Monday I create the config for patching and set the schedule for tuesday 01:00 (in the night = will install at first startup at tuesday)!

Now in your webcast you said that we could activate "preload" of patches in the deployment policy, which will load the packages within the next refresh-cycle.

Now my question is:

If the patch config is scheduled for the next business day, will the clients still pre-load the packages within the next refresh cycle?

Or is the config including preload "inactive" until the scheduled time has been reached??

This would be really interesting for our patching. Of course I would like to be able to use both features together so I can reduce patching duration on our clients.

Kind Regards

Stefan
