Asset Information Manager Subset enables you to use Windows Task Scheduler to automatically maintain and monitor asset information that is created by daily asset management jobs.

When you install Asset Information Manager Subset, tasks are created in Windows Task Scheduler. You can modify this task schedule and settings for enabling or disabling tasks as appropriate for how you handle asset information.

Note that when Asset Information Manager Subset is first installed, all tasks are disabled.

This section provides the details of the tasks and describes each task's setup procedure.

Note

• A user with Administrator permissions must execute task scheduling.
• If you use Windows XP Professional, you must execute task schedules in an environment in which Windows XP Professional's login user and password have been set. Task schedules will not execute in an environment in which the user and password have not been set.
• When executing Asset Information Manager Subset tasks in a 64-bit OS, tasks must be executed from a 32-bit command prompt. For details about execution procedure, see 10.11(2) Notes on executing commands and tasks on a 64-bit OS.
