Configuring a DCAL Download Schedule

DCAL Download Schedules prevent unexpected network usage by controlling when the software packages are delivered to the DCAL server from the Enterprise application server.

DCAL must be deployed now with both ServiceHostDownload and ServiceHost CAL packages in the following order:

• CAL Client

• ServiceHostDownload

• ServiceHost

After the DCAL server receives the CAL Client, ServiceHostDownload, and ServiceHost DCAL Download Schedules, there also must be CAL Client, ServiceHostDownload, and ServiceHost Deployment Schedules set for the workstations. Workstations then transfer and install these files from the DCAL server workstation.

1. Select the Enterprise level, click Setup, and then click CAL Packages.
2. Click the DCAL Download Schedules tab.
3. Click the Add Download link.
4. From the Add Download Schedules for Distributed CAL Services dialog, select the CAL package from the Select CAL Package drop-down list.
5. Select the properties to receive the scheduled CAL packages, and then click OK.
6. Click the ellipsis (...) button in the Download From field, and then set a time to download the CAL package. Leave the Download From field blank to download CAL packages immediately.

You need to configure Deployment Schedules to deploy CAL packages to the Service Hosts. Without Deployment Schedules, CAL packages are stored on the DCAL server and are not deployed to the Service Hosts. Adding a Deployment Schedule for One CAL Package contains more information about scheduling CAL packages to deploy at preset times.
