Can't create Scheduled Task from non-Admin account

platform: Windows XP Professional

I'm using Win32_ScheduleJob to create a scheduled task. If I run it from an
account with Administrator privileges, it works fine. If I run it from a
user account it fails, returning value 2. How can I make it word from a
non-Admin account? (What are the possible return values, and where are they
documented?)

Thanks.

You'll probably find more functionality with Schtasks

Schtasks doesn't appear to be scriptable. Any other solutions?

Of course it is. Take a look at the link for the command line syntax.

I've read all the documentation on Schtasks. It is a command-line utility. I
can find nothing in it about being scriptable (other than potentially
running it as a command line task through scripting, and attempting to parse
its output). If it's scriptable, can you point me to the scripting object
model?

Thanks.

Yes scriptable as in command line scripting. Much more robust than
Win32_ScheduleJob
