Abstract: The following process provides the necessary steps to create customized inventory tasks which will execute on a random schedule based upon usage of the AeXRunControl.exe from the Altiris 6.x platform. This is especially useful for VDI environments that cannot run tasks across hosted sessions all at the same scheduled time as that generates heavy I/O for both CPU & disk performance on the host.
NOTE: You will need a copy of AeXRunControl.exe distributed to a location on each client for use in the script. You shoud also familiarize yourself with the usage of the .EXE and the vaiorus command line switches available for use.
Environment: Symantec Management Platform 7.1 SP1
