Windows NT - win nt scheduled task


Expert: Chris Schuh - 2/3/2007

Question
In my Win NT server, I can use DOS prompt or bat file to copy a folder/files
from c: to n:.
I try to put this task into the schedules task, but I find that it is not
successful.
Pls advise how to setup a scheduled task to use the DOS bat file.
THANKS.


Answer
Hi Simon,

Windows NT doesn't allow for you to set up a batch file as a scheduled task. You'd have to program those commands into some programming language and then create an EXE file to have as a scheduled task. It shouldn't be too complex, but you'd need the programming language suite and the knowledge of how to use it (for what you're looking for, it shouldn't be hard to find on the net).

Cheers,

Chris
