Thanks to all your responses, and yes we would try and suggest a new media
server to the management. Actually we had already suggested a addl media
server and have a SSO for our media server.

But I aint really clear as to when the scheduler is invoked. In the case
mentioned below the admin has arnd 3000 policies and it takes 40 mins for
the scheduler to run thru.

1. How do I estimate the run thru time for the scheduler on my server???
2. How do we set the correct interval for say about 1000 policies, or is 10
a perfect value for all occasions??
3. OR do I need to be bothered, is it managed automatically.

Thank you once again for leading me in the right direction.
