High Availability Scripts Folder replication

With the High Availability license it would be handy to have an automatic replication for a scripts directory on a scheduled sync basis. While that's easy enough to setup the HA system should be checking to make sure both members of a pool are identical.

This way by pre-specifying where any scripts live and then having the HA system handle that replication as well would be a nice out of box experience to ensure if a failover event occurs, any scripts would still trigger.

I have this issue at the moment I have several Scheduled Tasks configured on my Main Application Server which execute locally stored PS Scripts. If the HA kicks in and it fails over to the Backup server the scripts don't work as the Information Service is down.

I have copy of the scripts and scheduled tasks on the Backup server in Shutdown, so if there is a failover I can Enable the tasks and it should continue as it was. However I want to look at improving it so that:

a) The script uses a VIP rather than localhost

b) The Alerting Engine triggers the action to enable the tasks on the HA Server on a failover.
