Thanks, I was not aware of schtasks, much more easy than at ;-)

I want to include a little more trick for the random launching.

I want all the machine to start betwee 10 and 50 of an hour, I use the following:
- get a random between 0 and 40,
- add 10

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
SET /a MINUTE=%RANDOM%%40+10
schtasks /create /tn "WPKGservice" /tr "sc start WpkgService" /SC DAILY /ST 05:%MINUTE%:00 /ru System
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
Regards.
