What is the best scheduling/scripting environment for NT

[mojo]

Getting an NT server soon and will need to automate performance of tasks such as deletion of old files. What would be the best scheduling and scripting environment for NT? We use cron and korn shell on AIX. [sig][/sig]

You could use AT command to fire off something like a batch file. I find this quite reliable. Something like this:
AT 2:00 /INTERACTIVE /EVERY:M,T,W,Th,F C:\filename,
would kick off a batch file every morning at 2 am. Good luck.

If you want better scripting tool than plain DOS command, you can use KIX32. Quite intuitive and easy to use. You can download it from

Go to amazon and get the book "Windows NT shell scripting" by Tim Hill. Most NT admins would be amazed at how much you can do in a NT batch file. There is a lot more there than a simple port of DOS commands.
