Deployed software with wrong option in advertisement

[pvr02]

We recently pushed out a piece of software we need on everyones computer as soon as possible to our main location. The package installed nicely on most computers. However, we noticed that quite a few were in the state "Waiting for content".

 

After checking into it we noticed that the laptops that were out of the office on VPN (which we have considered a slow link) was not getting them. After checking the advertisement we confirmed it was set to "Do not run program" within a slow or unreliable network boundary.

 

We changed it to "Download content from distribution point and run locally" yesterday. However today, the clients are still waiting for content. My guess is that the client still thinks that it should not run the program.

 

Is there anyway to have the client re-evaluate the advertisement to learn it can now download it?

 

Thanks in adance

Guessing it was a mandatory advertisement - but the advertisement has not expired? If it hasn't expired MS suggests you can re-run the adv. http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb681010.aspx

 

If it has expired you will probably need to create a new advertisement since those systems that checked in are done with processing that advertisement. Not 100% on that, but that's my guess on how mand. adv. work.
