I would like to find out if I can schedule a task to be executed on Win98 clients using the Task Scheduler in Win2000 Server. Does the Task Scheduler work with non-2000 OS?

Does anybody have a suggestion as to what utilities (apart from Win98 Scandisk) that I could use to check a hard disk for bad sectors etc? Can this utility be invoked remotely without user intervention?

I need to do a scandisk test for 187 PCs. Any suggestions or comments would be greatly appreciated.

I dont believe that you can execute the task scheduler in Win98 because it just simply isnt supported. There are some great shareware applications out there that might help. Im not sure if you wanted to do this remotley to all 187 machines.....that might be more difficult. There is an application called Automate 4, it can run certian .exe files (scandisk.exe) at a set time on each machine. Check it out!
