How to schedule a task?

[werther666]

hi

Is there any way to schedule a task "inside an image" ? i want to schedule an app to run at every starup and i was wondering if this can be accomplished via Task Scheduler...and also the task must apply to all users..

PLEASE HELP! Thank you!!!

maybe a command like the following thrown into setupcomplete.cmd:

schtasks /create /SC onlogon /RU System /RP "" /TN name /TR yourtask.exe

The short answer is no, currently none of the tools can create a scheduled task natively in an offline image. However, the use of oobe and setupcomplete to configure this can be done in WSIM (or editing the unattend xml file directly) to do just what the previous poster said. You'll end up with the same outcome, except if you ever want to remove the task in the future from the imaging process it'll be easier to do.
