I've been working on a scheduled task creation process for our users here...

Now, I do have a scheduled task running from the server that scans an OU, but this one will be set at the user level through login scripts. In my example, I have specified that the audit will run at the same time on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays - randomly generated in the script, between times of 8:00am and 4:00pm, according to their local timezone (this code is sloppy, I know, but it works).

This utilizes the at command - - - I almost had it working with schtasks.exe but ran into a problem where I could no longer create the task in the system context (which at does quite nicely).

When run, the user running it needs to have administrative capabilities to create the task, but you could use something like cpau.exe to do this if your users are "underprivileged" :)

This is a work in progress, as I would like to add more options (i.e. specifying a time via command-line, and more). However, you will note that you can specify a computer name and script path through the command-line currently, which means you can use it to create a task on a remote computer.

[code]

Set objArgs = WScript.Arguments
Set objShell = CreateObject("WScript.Shell")

If objargs.count < 1 Then
Set WshNetwork = CreateObject("WScript.Network")
strComputer = WshNetwork.ComputerName
Else
For I = 0 to objArgs.Count - 1
If InStr(1,LCase(objargs(I)),"computer:") Then
arrComputer = split(lcase(objargs(I)),"computer:")
strComputer = arrComputer(1)
ElseIf InStr(1,LCase(objargs(I)),"script:") Then
arrScript = split(lcase(objargs(I)),"script:")
sAuditScriptCommand = arrScript(1)
Else

End If
Next
End If
