Scheduled Task through group policy

[LegTech]

I am trying to get a scheduled task to about 600 xp machines in a
single domain. Will GP do this?

Hi,

The policies related to Task Sheduling have more to do
with preventing certain aspects of Task Scheduling. They
are located here:
Administrative Templates\Windows Components\Task Scheduler

Depending on your core issue, you can probably get the
results you want using a script from one client like so:

( clients.txt - contains list of computers )

for /f "DELIMS=" %%a in (clients.txt) do ( AT \\%%a
1:00AM \\publicserver\share\tasktodo.cmd )

Th AT command has some oddities associated with it, like
running as the SYSTEM account. You could download the JT
reskit tool to use the scheduled tasks service instead.

Hope this helps,
