Guest Manny Posted August 20, 2008 Posted August 20, 2008 Hi. I do not think that the old autoexec.bat concept work with Windows 2003 Server. So how do I now implement a command to execute automatically when the server is restarted, and without having to log into the server??? I have a need to always and automatically have the server run a "ROUTE ADD" statement from the commmand line. Thanks, Manny

Guest Manny Posted August 20, 2008 Posted August 20, 2008 Re: Autoexec.bat with Windows 2003 Server? Sorry to be a bother. I am not quite sure how to do this as I am unfamiliar with Task Scheduler. I went to START > ALL PROGRAMS > ACCESSORIES > SYSTEMS TOOLS > SCHEDULE TASK. What do I do now? I selected "Command Line" but where/how do I specify my actual command line of " ROUTE ADD..."???

Much easier to locate than the path you used before. If you're a server admin then it will probably be worth your while looking at each and every applet in the Control Panel. Lots of good stuff there!
