Landesk process ldiscn32.exe taking up 99% cpu on startup

Landesk process ldiscn32.exe taking up 99% cpu on startup. I want to write a script that will change the runtime of this process. I found a resolution but not quite sure how/where  to run the script locally on my PC. How do I use the start command in XP? It also suggests a local script can be created and added to a local scheduler, would this be a better option?

Problems/Symptoms:
The vulnerability scanner can use a lot of processor time. This can cause a large delay on  workstations. The vulnerability scanner can be configured to run in a lower process priority class to make the scanner's activity more transparent to the user.


Fix:

This can be done with the "START" command that is built into Microsoft* Windows operating systems. The start command allows you to run a process in a different priority class than the default 'Normal' one.

Create a new custom script using the example below.  A local scheduler script can also be created, and added to the local scheduler on clients.


EXAMPLE SCRIPTS. ******************************************************************************

FOR A SCHEDULED VULNERABILITY SCAN

[MACHINES_WIN]
REMEXEC01=cmd /c start /BELOWNORMAL "%LDMS_CLIENT_DIR%\Vulscan.exe" /AgentBehavior=1, STATUS


******************************************************************************

FOR A LOCAL SCHEDULER TASK

[MACHINES_WIN]
REMEXEC01=<qt/>%LDMS_CLIENT_DIR%\LocalSch.exe<qt/> /del /range=%quote%1001|2000%quote%

REMEXEC1001=<qt/>%LDMS_CLIENT_DIR%\LocalSch.exe<qt/> /exe=%quote%cmd /c start /BELOWNORMAL %LDMS_CLIENT_DIR%\vulscan.exe /AgentBehavior=1%quote% /cmd=%quote%%quote% /taskid=1001  /freq=86400

Thanks for your help, missymadi
