Run on Server at specific time

[firsttube]

I have a vb script that I want to run on a server everyday at a specific time. Is this possible with vbscript? if so, how would one go about doing this?

thanks

I generally put them into the windows scheduler or AT schedule.

I have also found thaat when putting them into the windows scheduler it is best to run them from cmd(batch) files.

ie.
runme-11pm-nightly.cmd
cscript //nologo [Path to File] myvbscriptfile.vbs

Hope this helps.

There is no was for a VBS file to execute itself. You will need to schedule it, as sparkbyte suggested.

Hope This Helps,

Good Luck!

Here is some code that might help you, a way to create a scheduled task via script.

strComputer = "."
Set objWMIService = GetObject("winmgmts:" _
    & "{impersonationLevel=impersonate}!\\" & strComputer & "\root\cimv2")

Set objNewJob = objWMIService.Get("Win32_ScheduledJob")

errJobCreated = objNewJob.Create _
    ("Notepad.exe", "********123000.000000-420", _
        True , 1 OR 4 OR 16, , , JobID) 
Wscript.Echo errJobCreated

I hope you find this post helpful.
