Hi, You have several options: 1. Create computer startup script and use the following command tools to create schedule tasks on all these servers. Schtaskshttp://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb490996.aspx How to schedule your computer to run tasks automaticallyhttp://blogs.msdn.com/calvin_hsia/archive/2007/05/11/how-to-schedule-your-computer-to-run-tasks-automatically.aspx 2. Install RSAT on a Vista Domain member system and deploy Scheduled Tasks to there servers. Thanks.This posting is provided "AS IS" with no warranties, and confers no rights.

Hi Mervyn,Thank you for your reply. Initial check of the links you provided it doesn't seem to address my problem. However, I will dig further on those links. The schtasks have an interesting feature.What happen is that I have 20 Scheduled Tasks in Server1 Task Scheduler, how do I copy these tasks configuration to Server2 and Server3 Task Scheduler? All servers are in the same domain. I'm looking into replicating the configuration, because doing them manually one-by-one in Server2 and Server3 Task Scheduler is prone to error. When I update the task configuration in Server1 Task Scheduler, I want the update to be replicated to Server2 and Server3 Task Scheduler.For example, I'm using SyncToy to synchronize the script of the tasks in Server1 to Server2 and Server3. I want to do the same for the task configuration in Server1 Task Scheduler.I want this to happen without dependency. I mean, when Server1 is down, Server2 will continue running the tasks on its Task Scheduler.TIA

Hi, Please open Scheduled Tasks, right-click these tasks, choose Copy, paste them in another folder, and then copy them to the C:\windows\tasks folder of server2, server3. Could them run properly? Thanks.This posting is provided "AS IS" with no warranties, and confers no rights.
