Schtasks.exe console tool helps you create, delete, query, change, run, and end scheduled tasks on a local or remote computer. Running Schtasks.exe without arguments displays the list of each registered task, the Next Run Time and the Status for each task.
To launch a Scheduled Task item manually, open a Command Prompt window and type:
SCHTASKS.EXE /RUN /TN "task name"
Replace the text <task name> with the actual name of the task.
If the task name is Sync Files, run the following command:
SCHTASKS.EXE /RUN /TN "Sync Files"
The Schtasks.exe can also take remote computer name as a parameter.
schtasks /Run [/S system [/U username [/P [password]]]] /TN taskname
