I am trying to schedule a couple of tasks on one of my Windows 2000 Servers,
defrag and system state backup. I get an error message that says it can't
start the task scheduler. I have noticed that the task scheduler service is
not listed under administrative tool | services. I looked at 2 other Windows
2000 Servers and it is listed on them.

Is there a way I add or install the task scheduler service?

Thanks.

Thanks, IE6 is installed but I'll try a re-install it, see if it adds the
task scheduler.

Make sure the service is running too. Open a command prompt and enter:

net start "Task Scheduler"

You'll either get an error indicating it's disabled or non-existant, or
you'll get an error indicating it is already running, or it'll start. We'll
hope for the latter. If it starts, change its startup to automatic if it's
not already set that way.

Kevin, it should be there. It is a native service under W2K. Do you
feel comfortable editing the registry? You might be able to install it
that way. Let us know and we can step you through what you need to do.
 
No problem, any thoughts at a solution? Haven't been able to re-install IE6
yet, or rather had the time to try.
