I'm using the batch file at the end of this post in WPI to install tasks to Windows 8 task scheduler. In Windows 7 I could confirm the install worked by making WPI query the Windows 7 task scheduler folder. But Windows 8 no longer stores the tasks in a hidden folder. In addition, the command line "SCHTASKS /Query", which is suppose to display all scheduled tasks, does not display the one's I've imported, even after they are run by the PC. Anybody got a workaround so I can reliably use the WPI dependency function? @echo offCOLOR 1aECHO.echo Importing Tasks for Windows Tash SchedulerC:\Windows\System32\timeout.exe /T 2 /NOBREAKCLSCOLOR 1aecho.echo DATA SYNC NETWORK *****************C:\Windows\System32\schtasks.exe /create /TN "DATASYNC NETWORK" /XML "F:\WPI\Install\Task\SM\DATASYNC NET.xml"C:\Windows\System32\timeout.exe /T 2 echo SCAN Malware *****************C:\Windows\System32\schtasks.exe /create /TN "SCAN Malware" /XML "F:\WPI\Install\Task\SMG\SCAN MALWARE.xml"C:\Windows\System32\timeout.exe /T 2 echo SAVE INCREMENTAL IMAGE TO NETWORK *****************C:\Windows\System32\schtasks.exe /create /TN "IFW LOCAL SGA" /XML "F:\WPI\Install\Task\SMG\IFW INCREMENT.xml"C:\Windows\System32\timeout.exe /T 2 echo BACKUP REGISTRY *****************C:\Windows\System32\schtasks.exe /create /TN "REG BACKUP" /XML "F:\WPI\Install\Task\SMG\REGBACK.xml"C:\Windows\System32\timeout.exe /T 2 echo.cls
