is this possible to run script from another machine on a schedule?

I have a script on a wins webserver. In order to run the .bat file on schedule, admin login needs to be logged on all the time. This is impossible. So I wonder if I can set a schedule to run the script on a daily basic? Can this be done via a cron job on a unix server?
thanks
 
Hi,
Can't you use the AT command in windows? Does that actually require you to be logged on?
 
what is the AT command? Would you explain more?

thanks!
 
Check under HELP on your Win box for "using the AT command".
It will tell you how to format an AT command to be run from the command prompt. You can also use Scheduled Tasks in the Control Panel.
