Creating a windows scheduled task

[RJN]

Hi

I want to create a scheduled job through code. In VB we would do this
using the Win32 API class "Win32_ScheduledJob"

Set objWMIService = GetObject("winmgmts:" _
& "{impersonationLevel=impersonate}!\\" _
& strComputer & "\root\cimv2")
Set objNewJob = objWMIService.Get("Win32_ScheduledJob")
errJobCreated = objNewJob.Create _
("Notepad.exe", "********012500.000000-420", _
True , 4, , True, JobId)


Does .Net provide any classes for doing this?

Regards

RJN

There is no managed way to do that.

You can use WMI (see microsoft.public.dotnet.framework.wmi).

Use Eduardo Morcillo's wrapper:
