Hey guys

Having a bit of a problem

Due to the annoyance of Win2K not having schtasks.exe built into it, I'm having to create tasks using AT commands

Here's the problem though, basically I'm creating a task from the 2K machine to run on an XP machine

So the syntax I'm using is similar to:

at //xpmachinehere 15:00 cmd /c [and the task to run in here]

Now it's creating the task on the machine I've checked that, but then at the time it is supposed to run, it says its running but nothing is actually happening

Running the same commands for creating a task on a 2K machine works fine but XP/2003 it just doesn't work

Any ideas?

I'm going insane
 
i'd do this..

create a bat file with the schtasks.exe info in it, then remotely execute the bat using psexec
