What is the diiference between Windows XP and Windows XP Embedded environment and pros/cons of both these environments. Stack Exchange Network Stack Exchange network consists of 174 Q&A communities including Stack Overflow, the largest, most trusted online community for developers to learn, share their knowledge, and build their careers. Support for Servers in a Cluster for 'Fail Over' WinPM.Net is not designed to install and operate as a Primary Server in a Windows 'Cluster'. Windows XP Embedded is basically a custom operating system that you build from components of Windows XP. By leaving out a lot of components, like Windows Explorer and the standard shell, you can dramatically improve security and make your computer look and feel more like a hardware device and less like a generic computer.

We have created this FAQ below to better support our partners seeking embedded-specific details around the down-level OS servicing changes for Windows 7 SP1, Windows 8.1, Windows Server 2008 R2, Windows Server 2012, and Windows Server 2012 R2. Please note that questions 4-8 apply broadly to non-embedded scenarios.

FAQ
Q1. For embedded partners who don’t have assigned account managers, how can servicing changes be communicated before wide spread announcements?
A1. Since we are following the Windows update model customers who do not have an account manager may review the https://blogs.technet.microsoft.com/windowsitpro blog for updates.

Q2. How can offline embedded machines access or download Monthly Rollups?
A2. The same way that they consume updates offline today. The only difference is that they only have to download one update instead of many.

It's also seems, that windows console utilite schtasks and GUI utilite taskschd.msc uses Task Scheduler 2.0 API. I found, that if task placed in C: Windows Tasks and have not setted AccountInformation, then task won't be displayed in windows console and gui schedulers. Windows Desktop Update could also be installed on Windows NT 4.0 to update the shell version and install Task Scheduler. Windows NT 4.0 Resource Kit included the Desktop Themes utility.

Q3. How will offline embedded machines (often mission critical) be serviced if a Monthly Rollup causes an issue?
A3. We expect MUC offline scenarios to have advanced testing in-house before being released to devices. As such, we don’t anticipate many situations where a rollback is necessary if compatibility checks have already been done on test systems. If a Monthly Rollup happens to cause an offline issue, the customer will need to report the issue to CSS. If a fix is issued, then it would be included in the next relevant update.

Q4. How can machines with size limitations download Monthly Rollups?
A4. We understand that some machines have size limitations. While either the Security Only Update OR the Monthly Rollup is necessary to be covered for critical security fixes for a given month, we recommend installing the Monthly Rollup because each update will only download the new delta fixes (for customers using Windows Update, or WSUS with “express installation files” support enabled). In addition, with new Monthly Rollups superseding those from previous months, disk cleanup will remove the older installed and superseded Monthly Rollups after a certain amount of time (see below Questions for further details). In comparison, the Security Only updates (which are not superseded by the subsequent Security Only update) will continue to reside on disk and not be replaced if any binaries are in multiple updates, which consumes greater space over time. Please note that removal of superseded updates happens automatically on Windows versions equal to or newer than Windows 8. For Windows 7, the user can apply the Task Scheduler to create a recurring task to run the disk cleanup tool.

Double-click Add Scheduled Task to launch the Scheduled Task Wizard. Click Next and then click the Browse button. Access the Windows System32 folder, select Shutdown.exe, and click Open.

Starting February 2017, the Security Only update does not include updates for Internet Explorer. With this separation, the Security Only update package size is significantly reduced.

Q5. Can customers skip or uninstall Monthly Rollups?
A5. Customers can choose to not install a given Monthly Rollup, and can uninstall the Monthly Rollup as well. If multiple Monthly Rollups are installed and present on disk, then uninstalling the latest Monthly Rollup would “revert” to the state of the older Monthly Rollup. If no older Monthly Rollups are installed on disk, then uninstalling the latest Monthly Rollup would “revert” to a state with none of the Monthly Rollups present. See below for further details on how older Monthly Rollups can be removed from disk.

Q6. What is the Monthly Rollup disk cleanup process?
A6. Since each new Monthly Rollup supersedes the previous one, disk cleanup will automatically take care of removing older Monthly Rollups from disk over time. On Windows 8 and later versions, a cleanup task will run regularly during the next maintenance window that identifies all installed updates that have been superseded by another installed update. Once 30 days have passed since a particular update has been marked superseded by this cleanup task, that update will be removed from disk on the next task run. The same behavior will apply for the Monthly Rollups, where an older Monthly Rollup will remain on disk for approximately 30 days (may vary by a few days based on maintenance windows) after a newer / superseding Monthly Rollup is installed. Note that once an older Monthly Rollup is removed from disk, it will no longer be a state to “revert” to if uninstalling a newer Monthly Rollup.

Below is an example of this cleanup and uninstallation timing:

• November 2016 Monthly Rollup is installed on 11/8/2016
• December 2016 Monthly Rollup is installed on 12/13/2016
  • On the next scheduled run of the cleanup task (assume this happens to run on 12/14/2016), the November 2016 Monthly Rollup is marked as superseded.
• January 2017 Monthly Rollup is installed on 1/10/2017
  • On the next scheduled run of the cleanup task (assume this happens to run on 1/11/2017), the December 2016 Monthly Rollup is marked as superseded.
  • On 1/13/2017, the November 2016 Monthly Rollup will have been marked superseded for 30 days
  • On the next scheduled run of the cleanup task, November 2016 Monthly Rollup will be removed from disk.
  • The January 2017 and December 2016 Monthly Rollups are still present and installed on the PC, meaning that you can still “revert” to the December 2016 Monthly Rollup state if uninstalling the January 2017 Monthly Rollup. The November 2016 Monthly Rollup is no longer available as an installed state to 'revert'

Note that for Windows 7, this cleanup task does not run automatically. Task Scheduler could be utilized to create a recurring task to run cleanup – otherwise this will not automatically occur. In addition, a user-initiated Windows Update Cleanup using the disk cleanup tool can also be used to remove superseded updates, but please note that this would immediately remove any superseded updates and not follow the 30 day process used by the cleanup task (in Windows 8 and later versions).

Q7. What is the guidance around re-applying Monthly Rollups after enabling Optional Components?
A7. When Windows installs an update, all serviced content is staged for installation, including updates for Optional Components (such as Features and Roles in Server Manager). When an Optional Component is later enabled, the component servicing model will apply the highest available version of the component, which is the latest serviced version. Therefore, Optional Components will be up-to-date based on previously installed updates once they are enabled. Note that this assumes the staged content has not been corrupted, missing, etc., in which case Windows Update would be required to download the repair content. In summary, enabling Optional Components will apply them in the latest serviced state without needing to re-apply the update. Features that are installed via other means (like Features on Demand, apps downloaded outside of Optional Components, etc.) would likely need Windows Update to re-apply the update.

Q8. How can customers assess their optimal update strategy?
A8. Please review “Update strategy choices” on this blog post.

I mean to open the built-in Windows GUI from command line- not to launch by Schtasks

taskschd.msc is available in Windows Vista and later.

I could have sworn I'd seen a little task scheduler GUI like you're talking about prior to Vista, but maybe I was thinking of the 'Add Scheduled Task' wizard.

You might have to settle for opening the scheduled tasks explorer with this command:

I couldn't find any way to launch the 'Add Scheduled Task' wizard from the command line, unfortunately (there has to be a way!)

I'm using Windows 2003 on the server. I'm in action with 'SCHTASKS.EXE'

It's quite interesting and makes me feel so powerful. :)

This launches the Scheduled Tasks MMC Control Panel:

Older versions of windows had a splash screen for the MMC control panel and the /s switch would supress it. It's not needed but doesn't hurt either.

Yes, the GUI is available in XP. I can get the list of scheduled tasks (but not the GUI) to open with the following command,

Then you can use the wizard to add a new scheduled task, for example.

In XP, you can find the Scheduler GUI from within Windows Help if you search for 'Scheduled Tasks' then click on 'Step by Step instructions' and open the scheduler GUI. Clicking on the last link executes the following command, which likely could be translatedinto something that would open the Scheduler GUI from the command line. Does anyone know how?

Here is an example I just used:

Then, to check my work:

You can make a new shortcut to:

Task Scheduler Windows Xp

Name it something easy like 'tsks.lnk' and then save it in c:windowssystem32.

You can now press Windows Key + R, then type 'tsks' and press Enter and voila. No mouse necessary at that point.
Or in Windows Vista/7/2008, just press Windows Key, then type 'tsks' and press Enter.

You might want to have look at simple command line scheduler 'at':

The AT command schedules commands and programs to run on a computer ata specified time and date. The Schedule service must be running to usethe AT command.

computername Specifies a remote computer. Commands are scheduled on the local computer if this parameter is omitted.

id Is an identification number assigned to a scheduled command.

/delete Cancels a scheduled command. If id is omitted, all the scheduled commands on the computer are canceled.

/yes Used with cancel all jobs command when no further confirmation is desired.

time Specifies the time when command is to run.

/interactive Allows the job to interact with the desktop of the user who is logged on at the time the job runs.

/every:date[,...] Runs the command on each specified day(s) of the week or month. If date is omitted, the current day of the month is assumed.

/next:date[,...] Runs the specified command on the next occurrence of the day (for example, next Thursday). If date is omitted, the current day of the month is assumed.

'command' Is the Windows NT command, or batch program to be run.

You can use either TASKSCHD.MSC or CONTROL SCHEDTASKS

Here are some more such commands.

I'm also running XP SP2, and this works perfectly (from the command line...):
