Thanks for submitting this enhancement request, Today, this can be accomplished by doing the following:


1. Use the FCM scheduler to define a weekly schedule selecting the days you want and complete the wizard as usual.  This will create the command files and will define the basic schedule.
2. once the basic schedule had been defined use the windows task scheduler snapin (if w2008 or later go to Start Menu | Administrative Tools | Task Scheduler or  taskschd from cmd line)
In the task scheduler mmc, select: Task Scheduler Library and then locate and double-click the task created in the FCM MMC to see its properties.
3. Select the Triggers tab, select Weekly and click Edit...  The Advanced settings can be entered from there and you can specify that the task is to be repeated every 2 hrs.


at this point, editing the task in the FCM scheduling wizard will lose the advanced settings information so once the Task Manager MMC is used to edit scheduled settings you should continue to use it to make additional changes, or the steps above should be repeated after making changes in the FCM scheduler wizard to reapply the advanced settings.
