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:

- 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/Task_Scheduler - Version 2 looks especially 
promising for your purposes
