Agent settings are configured for each site leaving you with a single schedule for all clients. To configure some of the clients to run on an individual schedule you can create a script that trigger the action you want to run e.g. perform a hardware inventory.

1. So basically you create a collection containing the computers you want to run the action.
2. Create a package that contains the script.
3. Create a program that runs the script e.g. crscript.exe hw.vbs
   
4. Create an advertisement with a reoccurrence schedule e.g. every 10 minutes (really not recommended).
   

Script to trigger Hardware inventory

‘ Set the required variables.
actionNameToRun = “Hardware Inventory Collection Cycle”

‘ Create the CPAppletMgr instance.
Dim controlPanelAppletManager
Set controlPanelAppletManager = CreateObject(“CPApplet.CPAppletMgr”)

‘ Get the available ClientActions object.
Dim clientActions
Set clientActions = controlPanelAppletManager.GetClientActions()

‘ Loop through the available client actions. Run the matching client action when it is found.
Dim clientAction
For Each clientAction In clientActions
If clientAction.Name = actionNameToRun Then
clientAction.PerformAction
End If
Next
