launch a remote scheduled task

[Etienne REMOND]

Hello
i've got a nt4 server and a w2k server who has a scheduled task.
whith graphical gui, on the nt4 server, i can open the
\\w2kServer\scheduledTasks and right click a task in order to launch it
on the w2kServer.
i would like to do the same with dos command.
what are the commands, on the nt4 server, to launch the remote scheduled
tasks of the w2kserver.

thank you in advance

Here are a couple of alternatives:
- Use psexec.exe to start a Command Prompt on the Win2000
server, then run at.exe to schedule the task. You can
get psexec.exe from www.sysinternals.com.
- Use schtasks.exe from a WinXP PC to schedule the task.
Have a look here to see how schtasks.exe can be made
to run on non-WinXP machines:

You could use psexec.exe from
http://www.microsoft.com/technet/sysinternals/utilities/psexec.mspx
to launch whatever is in the run box of the scheduled task.
psexec \\w2kserver path_to_command_to_run_on_server
type psexec /? for more options.
