I suggest you ...

Allow polling by subnet, or only search for new machines.

On larger networks, spread out with remote offices, it can take from 30 minutes to two hours to poll a machine. Being able to only search for new machines, or run a scan on a specific subnet, would cut the time drastically and prevent having to restart (and rerun 5 days worth of polling) if the process fails.

        Related to this idea would be to allow polling groups. Suppose I want to poll this OU once a week on Monday and this OU once a week on Wed. Instead of subnet, you might also include the option to limit a poll to an AD site.

        Currently this is supported by setting up auto-sense polls with the PollMe.vbs script (as part of logon or machine-startup). Will look into building this into NetPoint so no script is required.
