How do I schedule tasks?

Scheduled tasks are run using the Migrator for Notes to Exchange (MNE) Task Scheduler (qsched.exe). The Task Scheduler runs as a Windows service and is installed when you install Migrator for Notes to Exchange. The Task Scheduler is configured by default to autostart (upon every workstation reboot) and run under the credentials of the administrator account that runs the MNE installer.

The Task Scheduler polls the MNE database at regular intervals for any scheduled tasks and runs those tasks at the designated times.

See Admin Guide chapter 13 for information about the Task Scheduler (qsched.exe).
