cached packages time limit

[jonscott]

Hi All, Is there a time limit on packages cached to a client via policy or remote? That is, if I cache installer packages today, do they expire at some point in the near future? Can I push the installation a week or so later?

They expire when you image the computer next time. :-)

Or, when an ‘Install All Cached Packages’ gets run on them.

Good enough for me! =)
I just don't want to run a policy to install cached packages a week after caching, and find those packages are gone... I was told some products (LANdesk ?) expire cached packages after some number of hours/days, though I'm not sure about that...

Then again, the installation policy could be scoped to a smart group that is looking for the existence of particular cached packages... eh, just thinking out loud now...
