I have a task already set up in the Windows Scheduler (on Win Server 2008). It works great but it can put a burden on the system during peak hours (when the box is being used for other things). I currently run the job every 15 minutes. Can Task Sch. be setup to run every 15 minutes but only during a certain window of time. So I could set it up to run every 15 min, but only from 5pm to 5am — and not run at all from 5am to 5pm?
Set a daily schedule starting at 5pm. In the Advanced dialog, click Repeat task, then specify Every=15 minutes, Until:Time=5am.
Edit: The above instructions are for Windows 2003 Server or XP. If Windows Server 2008 is like Windows 7, then you can do the same thing through the Triggers tab. Set a daily trigger, Start=5pm, Repeat Task Every=15 minutes, For a duration of=12 hours.
You don’t need to stick with the pre-defined times – you can type into these fields any value you wish.
