Question : Way to export Scheduled Task Content
|
|
I have a server in which there are some scheduled tasks but they are corrupted. I can't open them becuase I get a cryptic error. This is an old Windows Server 2000 machine that we're getting rid of but I'd like to get the information on these scheduled tasks as to what they were running so that I can duplicate this on a new server.
Or is there some file(s) where the settings and content for each scheduled task in Windows 2000 Server is held that I could copy and read later?
Is there a way to somehow retrieve at least what the hell they were doing? I have no clue why there is a cryptic error, I inherited this without knowing what has happened to the server in the past.

Answer : Way to export Scheduled Task Content
|
|
Open a command prompt, enter cd %systemroot%\tasks This is where the scheduled jobs are stored. Enter "dir" to get a list of the jobs. You can open them in notepad ("notepad some.job"), and check if you can determine what the task was for.
