Copy Scheduled Tasks

[Guest]

Hi. As we move into UAT we would like to replicate our production
environment, including the scheduled tasks which control various automated
maintenance processes. Therefore I would like the exact same scheduled tasks
to be set up in my UAT environment, but there are roughly 30 scheduled tasks
and I do not want to recreate these manually.

Is there any way to export scheduled tasks so that they can then be imported
on another machine? Note that our Prod and UAT environments are on seperate
domains so the export/import or copy process must be portable (e.g. save to
floppy, etc.).

Thanks

Another thing to note :

you can copy scheduled tasks the way it`s said in the article, but
remember that if your scheduled task needs a username & password
combination, you will have to enter the password again in every
scheduled task that you have copied.
In the case were the domains are different , if you don`t have the same
user/password, you need to standardize on this, maybe creating first
the user/password in the receiving domain.

thanks, i already found this via google, but my machines are on physically
separate domains so i need to be able to 'export' from on machine and
'import' to the other.

Should be OK so long as you provide DOMAINNAME\USERNAME & password details
to get to the machines with them on at present

sorry, i'm not explaining this very well. it is not possible to log in to any
dev machine from any prod machine and visa-versa. so if you like, the problem
is to get tasks from one machine to another when these machines cannot
communicate with each other in any way.

Ok ... but have you tried copying the tasks ans pasting them to a floppy
disk or usb drive then moving to the "recipient" PC and copying them from
the removable media to the scheduled task folder?
