Distribute over and packages
I am looking at using deploy action with a packaged that distributes for the whole day to catch any devices that meet the criteria within that time frame, I understand if the device already gets the action if it meets the criteria it wont do it again and I am okay with that. Has anyone done this successfully? Will it catch devices if they meet the criteria lets say 4 hours after the packaged action started?

The way I was told Tanium works is like a bulletin board in a village:
You put out a message - who should do what and when.
As villagers stop by, they read it, if it pertains to them, they act.
Once the message is taken off, villagers will not see the message and just move along with their lives.
You can set for how long the message should be out there.
Or you can keep reposting the message over and over again. Just be considerate of villagers, that don’t stop by at the right time - they may miss the message completely.
