I had to write my own lwrp.
def frequencyinterval(freq, intrvl)
value = 1
intrvl = intrvl.to_i
case freq
when “MINUTE”
(intrvl >= 1 && intrvl <= 1439) ? value = intrvl : value = 1
when “HOURLY”
(intrvl >= 1 && intrvl <= 23) ? value = intrvl : value = 1
when “DAILY”
(intrvl >= 1 && intrvl <= 365) ? value = intrvl : value = 1
when “MONTHLY”
(intrvl >= 1 && intrvl <= 12) ? value = intrvl : value = 1
end
value
end
action :create do
puts “Creating scheduled task #{new_resource.taskname}”
case "#{new_resource.frequency}"
when "ONSTART"
when "LASTDAY"
system("schtasks /create /tn \"#{new_resource.taskname}\" /tr \"#{new_resource.path} #{new_resource.arguments}\" /sc #{new_resource.frequency} /RL HIGHEST /RU SYSTEM /F")
else
interval = frequencyinterval("#{new_resource.frequency}", "#{new_resource.interval}")
system("schtasks /create /tn \"#{new_resource.taskname}\" /tr \"#{new_resource.path} #{new_resource.arguments}\" /sc #{new_resource.frequency} /mo #{interval} /RL HIGHEST /RU SYSTEM /F")
end
puts "#{new_resource.taskname} was created."
end
action :delete do
puts "Deleting scheduled task #{new_resource.taskname}"
system(“schtasks /delete /tn “#{new_resource.taskname}” /f”)
puts "Deleted task #{new_resource.taskname}"
end
action :deleteall do
puts "Deleting all scheduled tasks"
system(“schtasks /delete /tn * /f”)
puts "All scheduled tasks deleted"
end
action :modify do
puts "Modifying #{new_resource.taskname}"
system(“schtasks /change /tn #{new_resource.taskname} /tr #{new_resource.path} /RI”)
puts "Modified #{new_resource.taskname}"
end

Anyone have any suggestions for scheduled tasks cookbooks that work well with both 2003 and 2008 Windows Server?
