Task scheduler on windows server
I want to schedule a task which runs every 15 min during weekdays only. I've got the weekly option but confused what should I put in Recure every? As I want to run this indefinitely till I manually stop it. Thanks in advance.
Solution
Even though the Create New Scheduled Task Wizard only lets you specify a single simple schedule, a single Task can still have multiple schedules, which you can configure after the task is created.
- Open Task Scheduler > (your task) > (right-click) > Properties > Triggers
- Then add remove the default trigger you set in the wizard.
- Then add 5 separate schedule triggers for Mon, Tue, Wed, Thu, Fri as follows:
- Begin the task: On a schedule
- Weekly
- Start: Midnight of tonight.
- Recur every: 1 weeks
- On (a single day corresponding to the trigger, so choose Monday for the first one).
- Advanced settings:
- Repeat task every 15 minutes
- ...for a duration of 1 day
- [X] Stop all running tasks at end of repetition duration (just for safety)
- [X] Stop task if it runs longer than (X minutes) (also for safety)
- (Ensure "Expire" is unchecked)
- [X] Enabled
- Repeat task every 15 minutes
- Repeat Step 3 for Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday.
