MARunScheduler is a plug-in replacement for Microsoft's MASequencer, which is used to automate the order in which management agents are run. MARunScheduler utilizes input from an XML file, containing information about the management agents to be sequenced.

The MASequencer from the MIIS 2003 Resource Tool Kit is not compatible with FIM 2010 (64-bit), so alternative methods are needed for scheduling run profiles for FIM. While you can certainly write VBScripts or PowerShell scripts to schedule your runs, I prefer simple solutions. That's why I decided to develop a similar tool for FIM 2010. MARunScheduler can be executed from the local system where the FIM 2010 or FIM 2010 R2 service is installed via the command line -

marunscheduler /f:<filename>

The 'filename' specifies the path of the XML input file which contains the details of the management agents to be sequenced. You can obtain more information on TechNet about how you define and configure Run Profiles.
