@Blag I have a whole series of PowerShell scripts that work with the task scheduler. Take a look at those articles.

@Harv Stewart This article is about VBScript. I have a whole series of Hey Scripting Guy! articles that talk about the different job schedule engines, and show using Windows PowerShell to work with these tasks. I specifically talk about using scheduled tasks to call both PowerShell commands, and to launch PowerShell scripts. If the link is hard to read, go to http://www.ScriptingGuys.com and use the PowerShell and the Scheduled Tasks tags from the tag cloud. Here is the exact link. blogs.technet.com/.../scheduled+tasks

The reason I visited this page is that I am seeking, apparently in vain, any way to run a Powershell script in XP that can see the tasks on a Windows Server 2008 server.

In addition to the differences that this article describes (between AT/WMI and Task Scheduler), guess what. The SCHTASKS utility in XP cannot remotely read the scheduled tasks in Windows Server 2008 machines.

Not only did the difference not get resolved but now we have THREE different schemes to worry about: AT/Win32, Task Scheduler in XP/W2K and Task Scheduler in W2K8. Oh boy!
