schedule

Stops the Task Scheduler service.

• With Task Scheduler, you can start programs at a specified time with the at command. You might need to have other services running before you can run scheduled commands.

• Task Scheduler is initially configured to run in the System account on the local computer. When Task Scheduler runs using this account, there are no restrictions on the jobs that you can run with Task Scheduler. However, these jobs have limited network access because the System account on a local computer is not recognized by other computers.

• To overcome network access limitations, you can configure Task Scheduler to run in a user's account. If you do this, jobs executed by Task Schedule are governed by the user account's network access. However, because Task Scheduler is not using the local System account in this case, you can only run jobs that do not require the presence of a window.
