STATUS This
behavior is by design.MORE INFORMATIONThe SMS 2003 Operating System Deployment Feature Pack is
designed to let enterprises schedule operating system
deployment based on their schedules.
Therefore, the Operating System Deployment Feature Pack cannot control
when an operating system deployment program runs. For example, operating
system deployment programs cannot be set to run based on when users log on or
log off. REFERENCESFor more information about how to create a new program in a
