Question : How do I create scheduled tasks from the command line in Windows 2008?
I have a script that worked in Windows 2003 which added scheduled tasks from the command line. But these scripts won't work in Windows 2008, I guess because the task engine is pretty different. This is what my W2K3 script looks like (ScheduleTask.cmd):
@ECHO OFF
SETLOCAL
rem --------------------------
----------
----------
--
rem --------------- GLOBAL VARIABLES ---------------
rem --------------------------
----------
----------
--
SET SCRIPTPATH=%1
SET SCRIPTNAME=%2
SET TASKFREQUENCY=%3
SET TASKTIME=%4
rem --------------------------
----------
----------
--
rem ----------------- SCHEDULE TASK ----------------
rem --------------------------
----------
----------
--
SCHTASKS /CREATE /SC %TASKFREQUENCY% /ST %TASKTIME% /TN %SCRIPTNAME% /TR %SCRIPTPATH% /RU "NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM"
And then I would just call the script like this from another script:
SET SCRIPTPATH="D:\scripts\DoS
omething.c
md"
SET SCRIPTNAME=Task_Test_1
SET TASKSCHED=D:\ScheduleTask.
cmd
SET TASKFREQUENCY=DAILY
SET TASKTIME=00:30:00
CALL %TASKSCHED% %SCRIPTPATH% %SCRIPTNAME% %TASKFREQUENCY% %TASKTIME%
Can anyone help with converting my script so it works for Windows 2008?
