PsaltyDS Posted July 20, 2006 Share Posted July 20, 2006 Can't find a way to do this nicely, so it's time for brute force. I need to edit the properties of an existing task and create a new scheduled task. A search has only turned up references to SCHTSK.exe utility, which will not do what I need (config multeple schedules for the task). So I intend to open the existing task's properties and script the GUI to get what I want. Then pop the Add Scheduled Task wizard and script that GUI... (PLEASE tell me I'm missing an easier way!) I see in the registry what I think is a Class ID (CLSID) of {D6277990-4C6A-11CF-8D87-00AA0060F5BF} for Scheduled Tasks, and it references "mstask.dll,-3408". Can I make direct calls to that DLL from autoit and do scheduled task stuff? Valuater's AutoIt 1-2-3, Class...

evilertoaster Posted July 20, 2006 Share Posted July 20, 2006 wait so what doesn't schtsk do that you want? i've used it from time to time and it seems to be able to do anything the GUI can... When you're making a task it lets you schedule it for anythime you want. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guess I could just create a single task for either, but... well... wahh! That's the official answer, it seems, just break multiple schedules into a seperate task for each schedule time. Started chasing the hard way... again... Edit: found switch onstart for schedule definition. Edited July 20, 2006 by PsaltyDS Valuater's AutoIt 1-2-3, Class...
