set to randomly do a recon once a week. The noise is the same as waking from sleep or looking at it in system profiler as has been mentioned. And, it makes the noise for the same reason as the recon is doing the same system profiler report and sending it
back to the JSS.</font></div>

that over time this could potentially shorten the life of the hardware. I could obviously kill the Recon/Update inventory policy, but knowing how often things change around here, that's not the most appealing solution.</font></div>
