SYMPTOMS
Clients over a slow link may not execute an advertisement even if the Advertisement is mandatory and the "Assignments are not mandatory over slow links" is not selected.

The SMSAPM32.log will show the following lines.

SCHEDULER  : Remote Name is \\FSNSMS01\CAP_FLN~  $$ SCHEDULER  : Calculated Speed = 7400 bps~  $$ SCHEDULER  : Slow link detected~  $$ SCHEDULER  : Not scheduling job because it's not mandatory over a slow    link~  $$>thread=561 (0x231)>

If the Advertisement is scheduled to run at a certain time the client executes the program over a slow link. Only when the advertisement is created to run after a certain event, for example "As soon as possible" or "Log on or Log off", does this problem occur.



CAUSE
This is caused by the Offer Data Provider on the client dropping the flag for "mandatory over slow net" when passing this offer to the Advertised Programs Manager.
