Remote Trigger Altiris Agents

Hi everybody,

I am a newbie in this forum. I have a new task to handle about few thousands of PCs remotely. The environment here in my organization is having Altiris server 7.1. All the agents are deployed to the client PCs. We also have many software packages and policies to send out to the PCs.

Question is, I know there is a way to trigger the PC agents to get the latest policies so that it can be refreshed with the details from the local site servers, by using the "AeXAgentActivate.exe"

I wonder if there is any way for me to remotely trigger the agents and refresh the policies?

Regards,

Tim
