Each one has a VCRM. After updating all the managed servers VCA settings I wish to force each CMS to perform a Software Version Polling Task from my central CMS. <BR /><BR />I have tried several things, I know that I can use mxtask -e "Software Version Polling" but I have not successfully gotten it to run on remote servers. <BR /><BR />I have created a custom tool for it, but I am having a heck of a time getting SSH to run properly between the central CMS and the remote CMS's<BR /><BR />any ideas?
