Windows Task Scheduler - Run only during window of time

I have a task already set up in the Windows Scheduler (on Win Server 2008). It works great but it can put a burden on the system during peak hours (when the box is being used for other things). I currently run the job every 15 minutes. Can Task Sch. be setup to run every 15 minutes but only during a certa开发者_开发知识库in window of time. So I could set it up to run every 15 min, but only from 5pm to 5am -- and not run at all from 5am to 5pm?

Set a daily schedule starting at 5pm. In the Advanced dialog, click Repeat task, then specify Every=15 minutes, Until:Time=5am.

Edit: The above instructions are for Windows 2003 Server or XP. If Windows Server 2008 is like Windows 7, then you can do the same thing through the Triggers tab. Set a daily trigger, Start=5pm, Repeat Task Every=15 minutes, For a duration of=12 hours. You don't need to stick with the pre-defined times - you can type into these fields any value you wish.

For Windows 2008 & above this is what I did:

1. Create task
2. Triggers tab
3. New ...
4. Use the following settings

In this particular example I want to run the task from 12:06 AM to 23:50 PM.

In "for a duration of" I entered the amount of minutes I want it to run for. Actually you could also enter some thing like 23:50:00 in the "for a duration of" field. It will automatically convert it to minutes after you click OK. That was my experience.

In the triggers tab you can add multiple triggers by using the "New" button. See screenshot below.

You have to set on the the Start field: 5:00:00 AM and on 'for duration of' you have to write '12 hours' or '12:00:00'
