You cannot create 2 task with the same name.
Notepad is just an example.

Both commands work fine. What makes you think that they
do not work? What error message do you see?

You should note that scheduled tasks are meant to be run
in the background. Scheduling notepad.exe is not a good idea,
since notepad by its very nature is an interactive program. If
you wish to test schtasks.exe then you should use this command:

schtasks /create /tn "Gogo" /tr %SystemRoot%\test.bat /sc weekly /mo 2
/d
FRI

and place this line into c:\%SystemRoot%\test.bat:

echo %date% %time% %UserName% >> c:\test.log

Show me your working command.

Of course it can - I've done it dozens of times. Let's have
a look at your command!

Hi there,

Anyones know how to create an OS Scheduled Task with mutiple
schedules
using
the command "schtaks" instead of GUI?



Type schtasks.exe /? to see how it's done.
Be careful about the spelling - it's not "schtaks".
