Ok, I am pretty clueless here. I use the python WMI module to do the following command:

    sj = wmi.Win32_ScheduledJob
    sj.Create("cmd", 0x40000000, 32, 1, 0, "******153000.000000-420")

And that gives me the following error:

    Traceback (most recent call last):
      File "<pyshell#56>", line 1, in <module>
        sj.Create("cmd", 0x40000000, 32, 1, 0, "******153000.000000-420")
      File "C:\Python25\lib\site-packages\wmi.py", line 431, in __call__
        handle_com_error ()
      File "C:\Python25\lib\site-packages\wmi.py", line 241, in handle_com_error
        raise klass (com_error=err)
    x_wmi: <x_wmi: Unexpected COM Error (-2147352567, 'Exception occurred.', (0,         u'SWbemProperty', u'Type mismatch ', None, 0, -2147217403), None)>

Ok, so could you tell me what arguments I am providing wrong? Please give me sample code. Thanks!

    Does it make any difference if you format the StartTime argument with 8 initial * characters instead of 6?

    I just notice that the Win32_ScheduledJob documentation seems to indicate 8 *s, in place of the omitted YYYYMMDD characters…
