That really brings back some memories - are you referring to WinBatch, from Wilson WindowWare? That's what (mostly) comes up when I google for it, anyway... What kind of licensing do you have with MSFT? I am pretty sure they bought the product previously known as Opalis Robot, and have integrated it into System Center. Other than that, I see several alternatives, including: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/3816537/using-windows-powershell-as-a-batch-scheduler - see the response to the question http://www.camelliasoftware.com/ - don't know how expensive it is, but worth a look http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_job_scheduler_software http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Task_Scheduler - Version 2 looks especially promising for your purposes Kurt ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~ --- To manage subscriptions click here: http://lyris.sunbelt-software.com/read/my_forums/ or send an email to [email protected] with the body: unsubscribe ntsysadmin
