I need to upgrade Internet Explorer in our environment although management wants me to do it one department at a time. Also have to take into consideration a potentially different deployment day/time for each department.
Thinking of using a filter in the managed software delivery policy and manually removing departments from it to add these machines into the push each time. As for scheduling, was thinking about creating multiple schedules and enabling the "End Date" under Advanced settings for each department's deployment. In this scenario, irregardless of how the boxes are checked under "Only perform check if...", should setting an end date effectively stop the policy each time until the next schedule goes active?
Now I could create a separate policy for each department but didn't really want to go this route due to the number I'd have to make. Figured removing departments from my filter is easy enough before each schedule becomes active although having the IE push occur during specific timeframes doesn't seem that simple to me. In addition to answering my question, I'd appreciate any thoughts you guys may have on getting this task done more easily. Thanks in advance!
