Sorry I didn't read your post close enough. &nbsp;You could do the scheduling remotely but you either need to distribute the batch file or have it accessible on the network.

I want to distribute a &nbsp;batch file to run on workstations after hours. To do it manually, I would have to go to each workstation, &nbsp;import the script and then run the task scheduler.<br />
<br />
Can I set up the task scheduler using a script? My plan then would be to distribute the two scripts (scheduler and batch file) and have each user execute the scheduler script to put it all in place.

Possible to script a scheduled task for easy distribution?

Batch files are text files containing a script of commands that are executed by the command interpreter on DOS, OS/2 and Windows systems. Most commonly, they are used to perform a series of functions that are repeated -- copying a set of files created daily with one step, for example.

Microsoft Windows XP is the sixth release of the NT series of operating systems, and was the first to be marketed in a variety of editions: XP Home and XP Professional, designed for business and power users. The advanced features in XP Professional are generally disabled in Home Edition, but are there and can be activated. There were two 64-bit editions, an embedded edition and a tablet edition.
