SCHEDULING AND MANAGING TASKS
205
The third part of the Task Scheduler is a number of related utilities that are discussed in the
sections that follow. These utilities make it considerably easier to schedule multiple tasks or to
schedule tasks for multiple users. You can use these utilities from a remote location to ensure user
machines perform required maintenance tasks automatically at a time that??™s convenient for the
user. Because operation is automatic, you don??™t have to worry about users performing the task
incorrectly, inconsistently, or not at all.
TIP
Scripts can have payoffs other than increased personal productivity. For example, Microsoft
regularly offers incentives for submitting scripts to the Community-Submitted Scripts Center at
http://www.microsoft.com/technet/scriptcenter/csc/default.mspx
. At the time
