Is there any way for a baseline to run against multiple groups and have each group run the fixlet at a predetermined time, but all of this from only 1 action?
ie. baseline gets pushed to group 1 & 2, but group 1 runs the action between 10am-11am and group 2 runs between 2am-3am, but all from one action?

The only way I could see this working is if you used locking to lock all the computers and then unlocked those that were in the group you wanted to run the baseline against. This would obviously have many negatives and is probably not worth it.
The only other way I can think of would be to build all kinds a logic into the relevance. Again, lots of negatives and probably not worth it.
Someone from BigFix may have a MUCH better way than my to suggestions though.

You could also add applicability relevance to the baseline. Pseudo code: if (member of group “foo”) then is current time 10-11am else is current time 2-3 am

The only thing I can think of is using maintenance windows like jspanitz suggests:

I am not clear how you would want to specify which groups run at which times without something like maintenance groups or multiple actions…
