Transfer scheduled tasks to Server 2008

i have number of scheduled tasks on server 2003 machine need make switch replacement server 2008 machine.  have tried copying them on \windows\tasks folder didn't show in task scheduler.  using task scheduler > import... option doesn't appear work either, aren't xml files, they're old .job format.

i rather not reconfigure each 1 on new machine.  there recommended way migrate these tasks?

thanks.

 

hi,

 

the mechanism of task scheduler in windows vista/server 2008 different in previous systems. therefore, afraid cannot import .job files task scheduler in windows vista. in addition, have no way convert .job files .xml files. need recreate these tasks on windows vista. after that, can export these tasks , import them other windows vista/server 2008 systems.

 

for more information task scheduler in windows vista/server 2008, please refer following articles:
