asked on Run TASK scheduler on demand
Hello,
I created a script to run a task already defined in task scheduler on demand. I would like to use VBScript as I can compile to an exe and encrypt the id and password. Any help would be great. Thanks
Script:
set objShell = CreateObject("WScript.Shel
objShell.run "cmd.exe /C ""SCHTASKS /Run /S servername /U halcyon\uswername /P password" & " /I" & " /TN" & " \Exports\Bank of eden (qqq) file Export"""
Thank you for your help

Thank you for the password info, but I am more interested in finding out why does the code I posted is not working.

BTW, it works from the command prompt if I type the following:
SCHTASKS /Run /S servername /U halcyon\username /P password /I /TN "\Exports\Bank of eden (qqq) file Export"
SCHTASKS /Run /S servername /U halcyon\username /P password /I /TN "\Exports\Bank of eden (qqq) file Export"
Ahh, I must have read it wrong.
Have you tried replacing the " with ( ) or '

So, What is the error you are getting?
You compile it to exe right, then execute it and what happens?

It appears the multiple quotes have been a problem for others. I am sorry, I thought this was a different issue, but I will try to help anyway. I dug this up, and it may help

objShell.run "cmd.exe /C ""SCHTASKS /Run /S servername /U halcyon\uswername /P password" & " /I" & " /TN" & " \Exports\Bank of eden (qqq) file Export"""
