Help

I have created a simple batch file called move.bat which basically moves a accounts file to a temporary folder:


MOVE C:\Program Files\account\account.mdb C:\Program Files\account\temp


I wish to create a scheduled task which runs this batch file on 80 domain computers. Without individualy setting up a schedule task on each PC.


How can I go about doing this on the domain controller. Can a schedule be set by group policy.

Any thoughts


Thanks for you help guys

You need to grab psexec from the sysinternal tools. Create a list of the computers you want to execute it on. Then you can use psexec to execute this command on the list of computers:

schtasks /create /sc monthly /st 11:30:00 /tn "Monthly Move" /tr "c:\jobs\move.bat"

Open up a command prompt and do schtasks /create /? to see more about how to set up the schedule as you like it.
