  Hello PK Swamy.

  Welcome to the Microsoft Community Forum.

  The Task Scheduler service lets you perform tasks on a chosen computer automated. With this service, you can program any program to run at a convenient time for you, or when a specific event occurs. Task Scheduler monitors the time criteria or the event that you choose and execute the task when these criteria are met.

  I understand that you are not able to create the Task Scheduler to restart the system. Please, I beg you, don't worry I'll try my best to resolve the issue.

  I suggest you try the following steps to create the Task Scheduler:

  1. click on start, type taskschd.msc in the start search box and press enter (it will launch the Task Scheduler).

  Note: If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation and click Ok.

  2 left click in the right pane on the Task Scheduler Library > open Action in main menu > new folder > name MyTasks > click Ok.

  3. left-click on the MyTasks > menu, choose Action > create a basic task (it open Assistant tasks).

  4. you can enter the name , for example "restart" and click on Next.

  5. in the trigger section, you can specify when you want to run your task, for example:

  a. Select daily and the press Next.

  b. now you can specify the day, time and all reproduce on a daily basis, after the press Next.

  6. in the Action section, you can choose what you want to run, for example, restart your system to do this:

  a. choose start a program and press on Next.

  b. in the field program/script , type shutdown /r and click on Next.

  7. click on end.

• I try to do the Task Scheduler open an Access 2007 DB on the network

  Hello

  Any help with this one?

  I have a DB of 2007 access on a shared folder on the network.  I want 4 users to be able to start and DB that open when they are connected.

  It works when you schedule the execution of a program that is located on the local disk, for example, open Notepad or a other prog.

  When I do the following...

  Create the new task (no base)

  Open task DB name > run when the user logged on (they must be in any case) use with the highest privileges = yes > Configure to Vista or server 2008 (using Small Business SERVER 2003 and Vista Bus)

  Relaxation > in the journal to start GOLD > specific user or group (ME) check box selected = Yes

  Action > start a program > Browse to the program/script = x player database - name.accdb

  Conditions - no defined (of course supply sector)

  Settings > allow the task runs at the request - stop after three days (again, I'm not that long!)

  Click RUN to see if it works. Nothing happens

  All suggestions, anyione has done something similar?

  Tried several variations on the settings, still no joy.

  Thanks in advance. McP

• Close a program using Task Scheduler

  How can I close a .exe program by using Task Scheduler? Eg - is the case of NetMeter, I want the program to automatically close every day at 02:00. It can b done?

  Waiting for a quick response...

  Kind regards.

  Ah I see.  Do not schedule the cmd.exe to run.  Taskkill itself is already an executable command.  So just plan sound directly in the program/script box:

  Taskkill /f /im "NetMeter.exe.
  
  
  
  
  Do not put anything in the arguments box.  When the program runs, you will briefly see to open the command prompt, the program will be completed, then the command prompt will disappear on its own.
