If you need create a schedule jobs on any remote computer or server you can use an AddTaskAppRuns.bat and run it from the command line (On central server) by using PSEXEC.EXE. In my example, AddTaskAppRuns.bat contain:

schtasks /create /ru DOMAIN-NAME\User-from-domain /rp password-of-domain-user /sc minute /mo 1 /tn "AppRuns" /tr C:\Updates\AppRuns.bat

The following command schedules a script, AppRuns.bat, to run every 1 minutes. Because the command does not include a starting date or time, the task starts 1 minutes after the command completes, and runs every 1 minutes thereafter whenever the system is running. Notice that the AppRuns.bat script source file is located on drive C:\ in directory Updates (C:\Updates\ ) on the remote computer or servers where should run a schedule jobs.

Download FI.zip, an alternative to the DIR command, which provides file age and size filtering, security, device, alternate data streams, and file link information.

When you type fi /?, you receive:
