Bulk move of schedules

Hey everyone -

The powers that be at my company have decided to change our ETL process here, which is going to significantly effect a lot of our user scheduled reports.  Currently, our ETL finishes at around 4am, so we told users that the best time to schedule reports would be 5am to 7am.  That way, they would have the freshest data as well as it being available when they log in to their computers in the morning.

The new ETL will be completed closer to 7am, which completely hoses the schedules.  Many will probably fail, and the ones that succeeed will be run with stale data.

Management has also decided that it is unacceptable to ask users to change their schedules themselves.  That doesn't leave me with any good options.  I think I can probably do this through the MetaManager extended modules, but getting the funding for that is going to be difficult.  Is there any way to do this directly against the schedules in the content store, or using a free utility?

Thanks!

Tim
