asked on

transfer or copy Scheduled Tasks from one server to another

Hi experts:

I have about 40 Scheduled Tasks on a Win 2003 server which I need to transfer to another machine. How do I do that? Please provide steps by steps instructions especially with regards to how to change the ID and password.

I am starting to work for a different company so the destination machine is under another network and I am going to use a different ID/password. Thanks.

Can I first paste the jobs to a DVD and then copy them from the DVD to the C:\Windows\Tasks folder on the new server?
That will work.

Don't forget that once you transfer the job to the new server, you need to also set the password again on the account that's running the job in the new server or it will fail.
It should be made clear that this solution moves the tasks, it doesn't copy them.
