I am working on setting up a schedule for automatic updates however, I have been unable to run the AT.exe command on the workstations successfully as the user account arrives at the destination blank, and therefore I cannot update system files.

Running the Task Scheduler is not realistic as there is too many machines to run this on, to use the graphical interface... (421 systems).

Thanks

Sorry I forgot to mention that all the systems are windows 2000.

I don't think the task scheduler had a command-line interface in W2K. But XP has one: schtasks.exe

To get it to work on W2K involves a little bit of hex editing. See the following article at the great site NTFAQ.com:

Good luck!
