Scheduled Tasks

[01hanstu]

Hi,

We are using XP Pro and at the minute are having problems with Conficker. I want to be able to view the scheduled taks on computers on the network, and without manually going to Run -> \\stationname\ then opening scheduled is thwere a quicker way or a tool that can get a batch for me?

Help would be brilliant,

Cheers,

- Stu

Can it be local on machines? Like BAT files/startup scrupts etc?

 

If so:

 

dir /b "%SystemRoot%\tasks" > blah.txt

 

And you should be able to just set a shared location for the text file.

 

Any use?

A good way of stopping conflicker at source is to make the root of all your shared drives read only.

 

It solved the virus overnight for us as it could not propagate any more.

Block all scheduled tasks in GPO ?

The Windows Malicious Software Removal Tool can also be deployed via WSUS if you have many machines to update or you could download it to a share and script it to run silently.
