  • 1.  Create Task to execute a NS Scheduled task Manually

    Posted Apr 13, 2012 09:15 AM

    Is there a way to create a task someone could execute that would force the NS to run a scheduled task manually?

     

    I know I could run a script that executes schtask /RUN

    but is there a better method to do this?

    There is no built-in method.  This would be the way for someone to use a task in Altiris to force a scheduled task to run on the NS.  For example, SCHTASKS /RUN /TN "NS.Daily.{8e6c708e-18bc-4ef9-acea-2de826c4f3b9}"

    You must run this as the application identity. (Or at least an administrator.)

    Yeah I was already using this with a Run Script on Server task.

    I was just wondering if there was a better more recommended way to do this.

    Nope, this is the method if they need to be run by an automated action vs. manually clicking them.
