Task Scheduler - Batch script to run on condition that another task has completed

Question

In Windows Server 2008 R2, I want to set up a Scheduled Task to run a batch script on the following condition

  -The task should only run once another task, that also runs a batch script, has   
   completed. How do I do that?

Note: Both task are set to run once daily.

Thanks!

Answer 1

Two ways that I see to do this:

1. From within the first task, if it successfully completes, then immediately schedule the second task from the command line. Use schtasks.exe /create /? for syntax.

2. If you want the second task to run nearly immediately, Call the second task, when you detect the first task has completed. If you want say, an hour to pass, use a 'wait.exe' type tool to temporarily pause the script, then execute after the time has passed.
