I want to create an unscheduled job for multiple machines. Then, right click on the job and press "Run Now". I can't seem to figure out how to set the job for more than one remote machine. I also was wondering if the remote machines should be in master mode or remote agent mode. I created a job called notepad which just started notepad.exe. I can't find anywhere that it lets me send to more than one machine except for the [Least Busy] setting. This setting only seems to send to the first machine in the list if it's available. Also, when I go back into the job, the host: field is still [Least Busy], but the "Host List:" field has changed to "Backup Host:" but still contains the computers that I typed in the field.

Any Ideas?

Thanks,

Create two of them: One to do the job and the other to execute the first job on remote computers (I assume you already have 24x7 agents running on these computers).

Set both jobs schedules to [no schedule].

The second job should be of JAL script type with a code like the following:

RunJobRemote("my first job name", "agent 1 name")
RunJobRemote("my first job name", "agent 2 name")
RunJobRemote("my first job name", "agent 3 name")

.. and so on... as many lines as many agents you care for this job

When I run:

JobRemoteRun("Notepad", "computer01")
JobRemoteRun("Notepad", "computer02")

It opens Notepad on Computer01 then pauses, hanging the Master console. If I go to Computer01 and close Notepad the second machine then runs Notepad and the Master console frees up. Both of the remote machines are running Remote Agent. One is Windows XP and one is Windows ME. The master is Windows XP...

I can send the notepad job to both machines individually.

Set your Notepad job to run asynchronious or change job type to script type and in the script do

Dim pid, number
Run("Notepad.exe", "", pid)

: When I run: JobRemoteRun("Notepad", "computer01")
: JobRemoteRun("Notepad", "computer02")
