Sorry Stanley,
I just stumbled on the answer of SeeTargetComputer. Perl is very new to me. I'll try my best though. Can you send me your code? I can have a look and let you know if I see anything. I did run the code below on 12 Win2k Servers (4 DC's and 8 file servers.) Didn't run into the problem you are having....

It's very consistent on these particular servers in that it is successful on the SetTargetComputer method, but the array is empty after execution of the Enum method. Any thoughts on that? Stanley G.

I put this script together to list all the scheduled tasks on a machine. Works fine locally. I try to use the $result SetTargetComputer($hostName) and hit a brick wall. Can someone help me out.The goal is feed the script a machine name $Hostname = /\\Machinename/; and get a list of tasks.
