) Notice that the AT job name has ???At??? plus the number of the job. The top screenshot
shows the Windows XP/Windows 2003 version of Task Scheduler, while the bottom screenshot
shows the Vista/Windows Server 2008 version. The entries are essentially the same in both views,
but the Windows XP/Windows 2003 view is simpler, while the Vista/Windows Server 2008 view
provides more details.
Figure 8.3
AT jobs appear in
the Scheduled Tasks
window as ???at??? jobs
(Windows XP/
Windows 2003
appears at the top
and Vista/Windows
Server 2008 appears
at the bottom).
SCHEDULING AND MANAGING TASKS 217
As you can see, from a Scheduled Tasks window perspective, all three jobs are the same. The
only two differences are the job name and the creator name. Unless you change the default setting,
the system creates all AT jobs. Any job created using the Scheduled Tasks window appears under the
user??™s name.
The limitations of the AT utility do bring up one additional useful feature for batch files. You can
schedule a number of temporary tasks using one batch file, and remove all of those tasks from the
Scheduled Tasks window using another, all without disturbing the original scheduled tasks.
