I'm going to go with option B. Bulk selecting nodes is the way to get this done quickly and efficiently. No need to reinvent the wheel.

Haha, unmanaging and remanaging all the nodes? That's like nuking the entire site from orbit just to be sure. A bit overkill, don't you think?

Unmanaging and remanaging all the nodes? That's way too much work. I'd rather not risk accidentally forgetting to change the polling method on some of the nodes.

The Orion Polling Configuration tool seems like the most efficient option. Why wouldn't you use the tool built specifically for this purpose?
