Dell, If I was to setup the scenario you mentioned below, how would it be
done.
Add another node to the database with a different name than the original.
Then create a scheduled event to occur once a month. The question I have is
here. Do I create the event using the original nodename and then just use a
different option's file with a line in it like NODEName <newnodename> ? If I
create an event using the new node name (which is not the actual name of the
node) wouldn't the scheduled action fail because it couldn't connect to the
bogus node name?

Thanks in advance,
Mark
