Windows Task Scheduler Import
Version Compatibility: 
Server version 4.0 or later Console version 5.0 or later.
The Windows Task Scheduler Import tool allows you to import tasks from the Windows Task Scheduler.
This tool has the following limitations:
- Supports only the following action types from the Windows Task Scheduler:
- Start a program
- Send an e-mail
- Only "On a schedule" triggers are supported
- The "repeat task" setting does not have an exact equivalent in adTempus; you will get a warning to review the result if the settings cannot be accommodated in adTempus. For example, the Windows Task Scheduler allows you to repeat a task at an interval longer than 24 hours. In adTempus a task can only be repeated within a single day (the repeat interval cannot exceed 24 hours).
- Conditions are not supported
- For the "Stop task if it runs longer than" option, the import generates a step-level Response to terminate the task after the specified time elapses
- The following options are not supported for program tasks:
- If the task is not scheduled to run again, delete it after ...
- All jobs are set to use "Hidden" interaction
- If a matching job already exists (based on folder/Group and task/Job name) it will not be replaced or updated. To re-import a task, you must first delete the corresponding Job.
Windows Task Scheduler Import Window
Source
On the Source page, specify how to connect to the Task Scheduler, then click Next to connect and read the scheduled tasks.
Computer
The import tool can import from the Task Scheduler on the local computer (the computer where the adTempus Console is running) or on a remote computer.
Credentials
You can connect automatically using your own Windows identity, or enter the user ID and password of a different Windows account to connect under that identity.
Tasks to Import
The Tasks to import page lists all scheduled tasks from the connected Task Scheduler that you have permission to read. Select the tasks you want to import.
Destination
Options on the Destination determine how scheduled tasks will be imported.
Import tasks to Job Group
Select the Job Group in which the new jobs should be created.
If you want to be able to review imported jobs before they start running, place this group on hold before you import scheduled tasks. This will prevent the new jobs from running until you release the group.
Recreate task folder structure using Job Groups
If the scheduled tasks are organized in folders, check this option to recreate the folder structure in adTempus using Job Groups. The hierarchy will be recreated under the target group selected above. If this option is not checked, all of the new jobs will be created directly in the target group.
Ready to Import
Click Next to begin the import process. You will be able to review the imported jobs before they are saved.
