Hello,

I have some old advertisement which should not be here anymore but are still displayed on the machines:

I noticed there are three options which could stop the advertisement to be attached to a machine:

- Delete the advertisement not needed

- Disable the advertisement

- Add an advertisement expiration date

I wonder what are exactly the differences between this three options:

- immediate effect

- disappear from the list of advertisements pending on any machine earlier

- etc...

Thanks,

Dom

Nothing will happen until the target system refreshes its policy.

I don't think there is actually a way to disable an advert, you can disable the program though. This and setting the expiration date are effectively the same thing to the client: the client won't evaluate the advert. They are different on the server side because disabling the program will affect all adverts for that program whereas expiring the advert only affects the single advert. I don't know if it'll still show as assigned in the console though for either of these options -- easy enough to test and this should be immediate.

Deleting an advert will of course remove it from everywhere including any execution the results in the DB. If you totally don't care about the advert anymore including these execution results, then deleting it is fine. If however you do care about those results, then you should choose one of the other options based upon your intent (disable all adverts for the program or just the one).
