I want to run an asp page automatically just after midnight on the first of every month. It has no output, just does some database work. This is for an internal company web. I tried using Task Scheduler on a workstation to run iexplore.exe with the url, and it sort of worked, but it doesn't close IE after running, so it takes some user intervention. Does anyone know how to run a scheduled asp page on the IIS server (ver. 6, Windows Server 2003)? Thanks in advance.
Well, if you do that DB modificatin with ASP, then the problem of IE windows which remain open is a big deal... Instead, I recommend you to use a VBS file. You see, you can do the same thing with nearly same VBS code (you know ASP is derived from VBS itself) and the benefit is that the VBS file is automatically closed when it is finished! Post me the ASP code, I'll give you the VBS equivallent.
