Applying Backup schedules through GPOs

firemouse · 06-05-2007, 08:37 PM

Is there any way to create a backup schedule and apply it through GPO? I'd like to have every computer backup to a network share on the domain controller(Its part of a project, hammering the DC doesnt matter). I really dont want to set the backup schedules on each computer, which seems to be the only way so far.

Any otehr suggestions on how this can be done is greatly appreciated. Thanks!

What are you wanting to back up on these PCs?

Create a batch file that sets the scheduled task using the AT command and apply it as a login script. Would that do the trick?
