How to convert a scheduled task from Xp to vista
-
13 มกราคม 2552 14:22I was very surprised when I noticed that Vista cannot read and use the
scheduled tasks with .job extensions, those of windows xp. I made some
searches on google but it seems there is no way and no tool to translate
those .job tasks to the new format used in Vista.
Any suggestion ?
The problem arises from some database administration tools I use and that
probably are not completely compatible for Vista. If I schedule a backup with
them a .job file is created but Vista cannot do anything with it.

Hi,
The mechanism of Task Scheduler in Windows Vista/Server 2008 is different from that in previous systems. We cannot import .job files to Task Scheduler into Windows Vista . In addition, we have no way to convert .job files to .xml files. Therefore, we cannot run schedule tasks created on previous systems on Windows Vista/Server 2008. We need to recreate these tasks on Windows Vista. After that, we can export these tasks and import them to other Windows Vista/Server 2008 systems.
For more information about Task Scheduler in Windows Vista/Server 2008, please refer to the following articles:
Task Scheduler 2.0

Hope it helps.

I've been looking for a way to convert the scheduled tasks from a 2003 server to 2008 and have only found the above answer multiple times. The fact that there is no backward compatibility or conversion/import method to do this is less than unacceptable. Having to recreate over 400 scheduled tasks because Microsoft is either too lazy or short-sighted to account for this necessity shows a serious disregard for their customer base. Hopefully I am ranting for no reason and a method has been developed since this posting, in which case I apologize. However, if a process is not available then please pass on my displeasure to Microsoft by whatever means you have availabe as I have also already done via my MSDN Subscription, Microsoft Software Rep, etc.

26 พฤษภาคม 2552 15:43 If you run schtasks from the vista/2008 server maching you can export the xp/2003 schtasks to xml. schtasks /query /s xpmachine /tn taskname /XML > taskname.xml then you can import it. not perfect but can save time. i exported the tasks using /fo table opened that to excel deleted unneeded columns and created a batch file to dump the xmls then /create /xml xmlfile.xml to import the xmls to the new server. hope this helps.

26 พฤษภาคม 2552 18:33Thanks Dadydun. Unfortunately we already went the the process of moving by hand cause the had to be done. I will definately keep this in mind the next time we need to do something like this. Still frustrated that Microsoft wouldn't supply a better mechanism for this.

Windows server (DOS promt ver) [Version 5.2.3790] failes to convert to XML.
Here is what I get in my DOS window.
C:\Documents and Settings\dlawrence>schtasks /query /s galpftpmove /fo xml /nh >
> C:\Duane\GalpFtpMove.xml
ERROR: Invalid syntax. 'xml' value is not allowed for '/fo' option.
Type "SCHTASKS /QUERY /?" for usage.

It says to use /XML.--..--"duanelawrence" wrote in messagenews:bf2aa8f3-fb37-49a1-a052-a645a0b940f3...> Windows server (DOS promt ver) [Version 5.2.3790] failes to convert to> XML.>> Here is what I get in my DOS window.>>> C:\Documents and Settings\dlawrence>schtasks /query /s galpftpmove /fo xml> /nh >>> C:\Duane\GalpFtpMove.xml> ERROR: Invalid syntax.

When I try this from Windows Server 2008 R2, where Schtasks supports the /XML option, to get the tasks from a Windows Server 2003 machine, where it doesn't, I get "ERROR: The request is not supported."

This is not working. Getting access denied. I am using a domain administrator account to logon to a Win7 machine and attempt to export a WinXP scheduled task to an XML file. Both Win7 and WinXP machines are domain computers.
C:\Users\guser>schtasks /query /s va33100xp /tn ServiceRestartBogus /XML > c:\temp\taskname.xml ERROR: Access is denied.
