Job Tracking software recommendations needed
We have over 80 Windows Servers and 13 SQL Servers and we run various jobs on each server at different times. I hate it when someone asks "we created a new job.... when can we schedule it to run...." because I have no easy way to tell if a given time period is already used by an existing job. And, of course not only does ServerB run its own jobs at predefined times but ServerA may run jobs which need the services of ServerB at different times. Can you recommend "Job Tracking" software that could help us manage this tangled scheduling web? (This software does not need to be able to actually Schedule the jobs. We have so many jobs, and some on non-Windows platforms, that unified Scheduling seems to be a dream. I will settle for Job Tracking.) TIA, Barkingdog

Hi, The Windows build-in Schtasks.exe tool will be helpful. Please run “Schtasks /Query /?” via CMD for how to use the command. It can display all the tasks that are scheduled to run on the computer, including those that are scheduled by other users. For more information, please check the following link: How to use Schtasks.exe to Schedule Tasks in Windows Server 2003 http://support.microsoft.com/kb/814596 You can also write a script to execute the query more conveniently. For previous discussion, please refer to the following links: http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/winservergen/thread/3b111e61-a7f2-41e8-8666-d99396b50183 http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-SG/ITCG/thread/a3732011-1b1a-4b77-bba5-cd155b618c6d http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/winserverpowershell/thread/dc607f76-02c1-489f-b519-340b0faf8fcd Thanks.
