Roger,
Firstly thankyou for your work in pywin32 on that COM interface, I wouldn't have got this far without it.
You're very welcome !
However some NT hosts are returning a COM error (which dumbly I don't have the details of now),when I try to call GetTargetComputer. It appears the Task Scheduler component isn't installed on these servers, no Scheduled Tasks special folder appears in Explorer under WINNT.
According to MSDN the IE 4 redistributable is required, IE 5.x is installed, I can only assume the scheduler option was deselected.

So you have a mix of some machines that have been upgraded and some that haven't ? Sounds pretty ugly. If installing the task scheduler on the rest of them isn't an option, you might be able to parse the results of AT \\servername . Alternately, I think the At service kept its entries in the registry somewhere. Can't remember exactly where though, and I think the keys had specific permissions set on them.
