Scheduling Tasks for the RCU

The RCU can be run on a client machine as a scheduled task using the Windows Task Scheduler. The task scheduler is available in Windows 2000 and more recent versions of the Windows operating system. The following procedures describe how to run the RCU and schedule a task running the Windows XP operating system.

In a typical setup, the client RCU is scheduled daily, and within a day, it can be scheduled multiple times. When scheduling tasks make sure you put in the proper command-line arguments for the client RCU.

IMPORTANT: Windows restricts many file names (including the path) to 255 characters.
