    I have a general question about Task Scheduler.  I am interested in centralizing my scheduled tasks on one centralized server.  So I don't have to go out to dozens of servers to see what jobs they have and if they ran.  My only concern with doing this is now I would have one point of failure.  If for some reason that one server lost contact I assume none of my scheduled jobs would run.  

    My question is their anyway around this or another way to look at this.

    Thanks

    Andy

    Hey there - if it were me, I'd keep them centralized...but when they run have some type of logging function within the task - and also maybe have it make a backup copy of the task files/scripts to somewhere else on your network.  That's what I do...I create either a bat or vbs that executes the commands (or exe's etc) then it creates a log of the output of the command that I can look at - in a text file.  ...and there's lots of ways to do that in vbs and bat scripting :o)  Hope this helps some :o)
