Add a new scheduled task from command line with "wake the computer to run this task" on

  • 772

I'm trying to add a scheduled task to start every day at a fixed hour even if the computer is in sleep mode. In the Windows Scheduled Tasks Manager UI, there is a check-box labeled "Wake the computer to run this task".

How can I set this option with schtasks in cli?

The OS is Windows XP Pro.

My command right now is: schtasks /create /tn "asdf" /tr asdf.cmd /sc DAILY /st 23:00:00 /ru System

    The property cannot be set using schtasks.

  2. There appears to be no such parameter.

    As a workaround, you can create such a task from the GUI, export it, and import that to other machines. Detailed description
