| This is a real life question. I have 100 Win 2000 Pro users and I want to set up task scheduler to run disk defrag, disk clean up and error-checker once a week at night on each machine. Does anyone know a way to automate this process so there is no user intervention. When I schedule the task with task scheduler it will bring the different services up but will not execute them because the applications need user input to select different options, such as which drive to scan or which temp file to remove. I was looking on Tech Net and was reading something about using VB script to automate task scheduler. Anybody know anything about this? Thanks | |

|  You are nearly there with your own answer. To complete it go into advanced properties you will get the following options:
Task - Changes the scheduled task or changes the user account that is used to run the task. (You can turn this on and off)
Schedule - Sets and displays multiple schedules for the same task. You can set the date, time, and number of repeat occurrences for the task (eg setup a task to run every Fri at 10 pm)
Settings - Set options that affect when a task starts or stops.
Security - changes the list of users and groups that have permission to perform the tasks.
Hope this helps. |
