The task scheduler GUI provides an option to run the scheduled task in an elevated context ("Run with highest privileges"), e.g.
I cannot find a corresponding flag for schtasks.exe. The closest thing I can find is to export an existing task (created with the GUI) with that property set and import it (and potentially modify it later).
Is there another way to create a scheduled task in an elevated process?
I am creating a schedules task to run just before it's created and deleted after it runs.
I am using the tool, schtasks to create the scheduled task, but i havent found the parameter to run the task "At task creation/modification"
schtasks /create /TN "Install Bpm" /SC ONCE /TR "C:\windows\system32\calc.exe -i silent" /Z
My question is; how can I create a scheduled task via command line, with the trigger “At task creation/modification".
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
Since task scheduler API has been changed after Vista & Server 2008, scheduling a task with schtasks is (as much as I know) the only way that works on both Windows 2003 Server and Windows 2008 Server.
I need to create a task that will run every on 5th and 20th of each month. Is this possible with schtasks.exe?
Creating a scheduled task that will run on every sunday and monday of a week is possible with:
schtasks /create /tn test /tr "cmd.exe" /sc weekly /d mon,sun
But with the same aspect, any of the following is not working.
schtasks /create /tn test /tr "cmd.exe" /sc monthly /d 5,15
schtasks /create /tn test /tr "cmd.exe" /sc monthly /d "5 15"
Any ideas?
I'm trying to install some software using a batch script and using schtasks to start a service every day at midnight.
The script works fine, but it prompts for a password, which causes the script to hang. I've tried using the '/RU "user" /RP ""' flags, which seemed to work in XP, but not under Vista.
What is the right way to do this?
