I've used the Windows scheduling tool before, but I can't recall the exact name. I'll have to eliminate the options that don't sound familiar.

Okay, let me think this through. It's a tool for scheduling commands on remote systems, so it's probably something like SCHEDULR.EXE or SCHRUN.EXE. I'll have to double-check the options.
