Is possible to make a scheduled task on windows 2003 server be dependent on the successful execution of a separate task?

You need two batch, the first is the scheduled manually the second is scheduled automatically from the first only after a successful execution ::first batch yourapp.exe :: if everythink is ok the second task is created if %errorlevel%==0 schtasks /create /tn "Second Task" /tr c:\second.cmd /sc daily /st 08:00:00 ::end Gastone Canali http://www.armadillo.it

There are more possibilities,eg 1. If you read Last Result status, you may have more granular decision branching. 2. You can save or pass a parameter from the first task and test it in second task 3. You can use eventtriggers function in some cases namely security ones chaining this function with mail agent (there are free ones). Regards Milos
