(We're probably pushing the use of Task Sequences beyond that which they were 
intended here.)

Every night we have a Task Sequence that we run on all of our machines (~30k) 
that performs maintenance routines and software installations.  The problem is 
that our SCCM guys are finding that the flood of status messages coming in from 
all of those machines floods the Management Points and it takes them several 
hours to process them all and catch up.  Estimates hover around 4 million 
status messages coming in from just this one TS running on all of our machines 
each night.

Is there a way to stop a TS from submitting status messages?  I'm sure it's a 
long shot but it's kind of our last hope before we're forced to re-engineer 
this nightly job into a single scripted solution.  I don't like re-inventing 
the wheel and trying to duplicate all of the logic and features that a Task 
Sequence brings inside of scripts.  I'd hate to lose all of that.
