Issue #16804 has been updated by Pascal Sartoretti.

Maybe support for Windows Server 2003 is not required, as this OS is already in 
"Extended Support" phase (no more in "Mainstream Support" phase), and will be 
terminated in 2015.

Feature #16804: scheduled_task : add support for "every X minutes or hours" mode

As stated in the Puppet documentation 
(http://docs.puppetlabs.com/windows/writing.html#scheduledtaskscheduledtask), 
the "scheduled_task" resource type does not support repetition modes such as 
"every X minutes". 

It is a pity, because such tasks are very commonly used in Windows servers (and 
maybe less on Windows clients), making "scheduled_task" not so useful.

It is true that the configuration of Windows scheduled task is complicated (as 
opposed to crontab...); we may not need all the features available in the 
Windows GUI (like "Until", "Duration" or "If the task is still running, stop it 
at this time"), I guess it would be enough to support "every X minutes" and 
"every Y hours".
