Advertisements immediately rerun in SMS 2003 Advanced Client after you remove and then re-add the SMS 2003 Advanced Client to a collection

You advertise a package that contains a program to a Microsoft Systems Management Server (SMS) 2003 Advanced Client. The SMS 2003 Advanced Client executes the advertisement and then installs the package. When you remove the SMS 2003 Advanced Client from a collection in SMS and then re-add the SMS 2003 Advanced Client to the same collection, the advertisement immediately reruns.

This issue occurs when the advertisement has at least one recurring schedule or when the advertisement contains multiple mandatory assignments. In this case, the advertisement is always set to rerun.

To resolve this issue, do not create a recurring schedule for the advertisement or create multiple mandatory assignments for the advertisement.

This behavior is by design.
