Windows Task Scheduler
Schedule a Task from TopTools
To set a task in TopTools Device Manager so
that it is executed at a specified time in the
future, begin by setting up a task in the normal
way. For an example of this process, see the
TopTools User Guide, "Using HP TopTools
Applications."
The final page in the setup is Scheduling, with
the options
Start Now
if you want to schedule the execution for the
future, you can select the date and the time at
which you want the operation launched.

operation. In the case of routine functions, a
standard intervention may be simply to change

scheduled operation.
TopTools itself does not provide an option to
manipulate already-scheduled tasks. Changes to
existing schedules are made via the Windows
Task Scheduler, as described in the following
example:
Assume that you have previously scheduled a
driver update using HP TopTools Device
Manager, but before the execution date you
decide to cancel the operation or to postpone it
to an unspecified date.
To carry out the schedule change:
1 On the TopTools management server, launch

Scheduler when the task was set up.
