Yes, using the CAD service to control the scheduler service will help,
but not guarantee, that the scheduler service will get restarted when it
stops. (Upgrading the client to current levels certainly won't hurt.)

I've never had any issues with clients set to polling (as opposed to
prompted), unless there is a firewall in the mix.
