Modifying a Scheduled Task

We currently have a scheduled task that runs every 5
minutes, from 5 am till midnight or so. During problem
solving or an upgrade, we disable the task so it won't
run, but sometimes forget to reenable it.

Can I run a scheduled task to enable another scheduled
task? We were thinking of using another scheduled task
or command prompt command to reenable this task every
morning so this wouldn't happen anymore.

Can this be done?

Thanks,

Cliff

The syntax is hard to learn, but try JT.EXE from the Windows 2000 Resource

You're not kidding about it being hard to learn. This is what finally
worked for unsuspending a job.

jt /lj "c:\windows\tasks\job name.job" /sj suspend=0
