I need to automate a batch file to run at the end of the day. How can I get this to happen in NT4.0 server. On Win2k I use the task scheduler. Thanks in advance.
 
Hi, I've recently logged many hours trying to solve my scheduler problem. This is what you do.

Go to My Computer and double click Scheduled Tasks. This should do the trick.
 
Just a note, I think you need IE 4 (or is it 5?) or later in order to see the "Scheduled Tasks" folder.
 
Or you can use the at command

Start the scheduler service and run at /? from a command prompt, or get winat from the res kit.
 
Automate the scheduler startup
use "at" from the command prompt with the appropriate syntax.
eg. at 1:00am /every:m,t,w,th,f,s,su c:\mybatchjob.bat
runs the job everyday at 1:00 oclock.

 
Thank you! With the "at" command I was able to do what I wanted. You guys are good!

Now I am trying to figure out how to get the task scheduler to show up in my computer as BigA1 stated. The "At" command will work for now though. Someone has to know what it takes to get it to show up there.
 
Install IE 5 and it will come up (I think, never tried it, but from what I have read this is the case)
