Administering Task Scheduler using Computer Management

Using Computer Management, you can do the following to a local or remote computer console:

  • Stop, start, or pause the Task Scheduler service

  • Specify start parameters for the Task Scheduler service

  • Specify logon settings for the Task Scheduler service

  • Select the computer's response if the Task Scheduler service fails

  • Set or verify dependencies for the Task Scheduler service

For more information, see Configure Task Scheduler using Computer Management.

Notes

  • To perform this procedure, you must be a member of the Administrators group on the local computer, or you must have been delegated the appropriate authority. If the computer is joined to a domain, members of the Domain Admins group might be able to perform this procedure. As a security best practice, consider using Run as to perform this procedure.

  • The Task Scheduler Properties (computername) dialog box is in the Services snap-in. To make the dialog box available in MMC, you must add the Services snap-in to your Computer Management console.
