Creating Multiserver Jobs

After setting up the master and target servers, you can create jobs on the master server and specify which target servers they should run on. Periodically, the target servers poll the master server. If any jobs defined for them have been scheduled to run since the last polling interval, the target server downloads the jobs and runs them. When a job completes, the target server uploads the job outcome status to the master server.
