net_user Posted January 25, 2010 Share Posted January 25, 2010 i have a schedule task on multiple computers, the task has the same name, credentials, and executes the same batch file.i use this task, (which calls the batch file) to silently install software updates, update host files, ect ecteach time i want to run this task, i browse to the computer on the network, go to the schedule task, and run it.all works wellbut when you have over 200+ to do, it's getting to be a little time consuming.is there a way to execute the task remotely without having to browse to the computer?

Mordac85 Posted January 25, 2010 Share Posted January 25, 2010 If it doesn't really need user interaction, why not use psexec or a WMI call to run the batch on the remote system? From there it should be easy enough to script it so you're running only 1 script against all 200+ systems.If you need user interaction, just add it to the logon script and send out an e-mail telling the users what they need to do before you enable it to run?
