Build a Rule based on Prism's variable %PT_HOUR% which resolves to the current hour in military time (00-23). Use this Group to assign Tasks that should only be distributed at certain times such as non-business hours. For example, to create a Configuration Group that populates when the computer time is between 1 a.m. and 6 a.m., create the following Rule

("%PT_HOUR%" >= "01") AND ("%PT_HOUR%" < "06")

I know this is really old, but how would someone go about doing this? It seems the scripting language does not allow the use of "AND" in a statement.

I would like to run a script but make sure it only runs between a specific time on a specific date.

Any thoughts?

Yes, you can do that with a rule like this:

(("%PT_HOUR%" >= "01") AND ("%PT_HOUR%" < "08")) AND (("%PT_Date%" = "29" ) AND ("%PT_Month%"="10") AND ("%PT_YEAR%"="2008"))

My fault for posting in the wrong sub-forum. But here I go again doing it.

My question is how can we do this with a .PTS ? I can make it working nesting IF's but it looks ugly. Can I get the first 4 lines of the script below into 1 line?

Ex. This example checks for specifc date then the time window and executes the Office2k7 custom setup then also runs a package which only adds a registry entry that states the script was run in time window alotted. If the script is not run in the time window then a different package is installed that sets a registry value and lets the user know the office install will retry again later.

If %PT_MONTH% == "10"
If %PT_DATE% == "29"
If %PT_HOUR% >= "16"
   If %PT_HOUR% < "17"
   /Run \\server\o2k7ProPlus\setup.exe /config \\server\o2k7ProPlus\ProPlus.WW\Config.xml /adminfile \\server\o2k7ProPlus\ProPlus.WW\ProPlus-Desktops.MSP
   /IP "\\server\DeployPackages\Office2007RunFlag.pwc" /Always
   Else
   /IP "\\server\DeployPackages\Office2007NotRunFlag.pwc" /Always /AfterPrompt
   EndIf
Else
/IP "\\server\DeployPackages\Office2007NotRunFlag.pwc" /Always /AfterPrompt
EndIf
Else
/IP "\\server\DeployPackages\Office2007NotRunFlag.pwc" /Always /AfterPrompt
EndIf
Else
/IP "\\server\DeployPackages\Office2007NotRunFlag.pwc" /Always /AfterPrompt
EndIf
