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.
