I have a partticular job in DS that I would like to make available as a task within the Helpdesk system.  It would provide a familiar interface to our frontline technical support employees.  Is that even possible, and has anyone done this?

Thanks in advance.

Though I've not done it I'd imagine it's entirely possible.

If you have Helpdesk 6 sp5 installed you can create "Helpdesk Tasks" that will invoke a "Task Server Task"

If you could write a "Task Server Task" that invoked axSched.exe to schedule your job on a computer. 

Check out this link for more information on axSched:

SDK

Best way to accomplish this is using the SDK for Deployment Server. You can install it on the DS and write a task to invoke the webservice for DS. I have done this before successfully. You can obtain the SDK from

hope this helps.
