Registry

 

This setting specifies the number of seconds after successfully downloading package (.osd) files during which the download of these files should not be attempted again. If a value for this setting is configured, each time the policy is applied, the policy agent checks to see if the package files required by a policy have been downloaded within this time period. If this is the case, the currently downloaded package files are used for installation.

 

If the package files have not been downloaded within the time interval, they are downloaded only if they have changed since they were last downloaded to the managed device (The check for this depends on the protocol in use. For HTTP download an If-Modified-Since HTTP request is used. Equivalent requests are made for other protocols.).

 

For example, a package file MyApplication.osd was downloaded at 4 PM and used to install the application MyApplication. The value of PolicyPackageRefreshPeriod is set to 43200 (12 hours). A scheduled task applies a policy and attempts to update MyApplication at 8 PM. Since 8 PM is less than 12 hours after MyApplication.osd was last downloaded, no attempt to download the file is made.

 

If no value is set for this setting, package files are always downloaded regardless of whether or not they have changed since they were last downloaded. If newer packager files (those that have changed since the last download to the managed device) are to be downloaded when the policy is applied, the value for this setting needs to be set to 0 (zero).
