Good Very Hello!

Is there a way in Windows 7 Ultimate "Task Scheduler" to export and import all settings at once rather than selecting each one and doing them all manually? Any help or a point in the right direction to do so is certainly appreciated as far as you know! :p
 
you can try this:
Open regedit in both boxes.
Export the following to files.
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Schedule\TaskCache\Tree\Microsoft\Windows

do a diff on the different files and update the target file with the keys you want to add.
reimport and maybe it will work.

worst case it will screw up your machine, so do make a backup beforehand

this assumes they don't store additional support information in other branches
 
you can copy and paste the individual .tsk (task) files.
 
Ahhh .. thank you jiminator I will boot into safe mode and give that a try! j-sta I could find no *.tsk files. :eek:
 
Just FYI jiminator, HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Schedule\TaskCache\Tree\Microsoft\Windows you suggested does not work. I exported the keys before deleting them and at Recovery Center command prompt went to merge back and it does not work.
 
As far as I can tell, you can move the TSK files around, and that works. But the credentials for the account used won't be valid. You'll have to open it up and type the credentials again.

If you find anything to let you move tasks around (including credentials!), please share!
 
maybe this?

Windows Vista and Windows 7 (all tasks, using the command-line interface)
1Click "Start," "All Programs," "Accessories," then "Command Prompt."

2Type "schtasks /Query /XML > AllTasks.xml" without quotes.

3Press Enter. The XML for all tasks will be copied to a new file named AllTasks.xml. If the file already exists, it will be overwritten.
