Greetings,
Using Windows 2000 Server, SP4 is there some way I can schedule the starting
and stopping of a service at certain times, rather than just at startup or
manually?
Why do I want to do this?
I need to backup 2 files from my server to a Windows XP PRO wks using the MS
Backup program on that wks. However, in order to back up the 2 files, they
must be closed (i.e. not in use), which is done by stopping a particular
service on the server. The basic startegy is, during the wee hours of the
night, to stop the service, backup the 2 files to the wks, then restart the
service; ideally, all done automatically with a service scheduler.
Thanks for any input!!
