Guest John A Grandy Posted July 14, 2008 Posted July 14, 2008 Microsoft Windows Server 2003 R2 Enterprise x64 Edition Service Pack 2 Does this version ship with the Task Scheduler ui ? I find a wizard at c:\windows\tasks\add scheduled task But where does the .exe live ?

Not every GUI gets invoked by an .exe file. Some Control Panel GUIs are invoked by a .cpl file whereas others are called through a .dll. Here is the registry entry for the Task Scheduler GUI: HKLM\SOFTWARE\Classes\CLSID\{D6277990-4C6A-11CF-8D87-00AA0060F5BF} To invoke the Task Scheduler GUI, click its icon in the Control Panel.

Add Scheduled Task The wizard is lame as it only allows point-and-click or browse selection of a program to run. How to specify command line parameters ? What I am trying to do is run a .bat file every midnight.

In the screen where you point and click, there is a box where you can type the full path & command. If you have a problem entering a parameter, don't enter one but add it later on.
