You can run the ILST as an automated task using the Task Scheduler application that is packaged with Microsoft Windows.
For more information about Task Scheduler, see Microsoft | Task Scheduler.
You should not run the ILST at a frequency that would cause it to start a sync before a previous sync is finished. The time it takes to run the sync is influenced by a number of variables, however, the first sync you run will always take the longest amount of time.
