Task scheduling

Posted on January 26th, 2010 in Common Technique, Windows by admin

The ability to schedule tasks to run at various times on your Windows NT server can be very beneficial. In the past administrators either had to buy a third-party program or use AT and WinAT. The obvious disadvantage to buying a third party program was the cost. AT and WinAT were okay but they weren’t exactly versatile. When Microsoft released Internet Explorer 5 however, they introduced a tool called Task Scheduler. This is a powerful utility that allows you to schedule different tasks to run at different times and also under a different security context. To use it you simply need to make sure that you have IE 5 or higher loaded on your NT server. Then open your My Computer icon and look for a folder called Scheduled Tasks. The Add New Task option will start a wizard that will walk you through the whole process.
