Just a few thoughts...

It should be possible to get two different scheduler services running on
the same machine, at least when using "client polling" method. You can
use the srvany-tool to run more than one scheduler as a service, even
when the installation tool that comes with ADSM does not provide this
option.

I didn't try this yet, but I'm not sure about the method the server uses
to contact/trigger a client. When the server uses a predefined hardcoded
port-address to establish a connection to the client, then I guess
you'll have problems. Just try it out, but keep in mind that this
problem might occurs. Only when all communication is initially
originated by the client, I think it could work (client polling). To use
the scheduler as designed, you then have to define two different
nodenames for the two instances.

In some OS it is possible to have more than one IP-addresses AND bind
different applications to different addresses. That would solve the
server's problem of connecting to one certain instance of the service on
one client. I haven't heared of this option for NT.
