Example
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Ivanti\Automation\Console\WMC.exe" /action=schedule /Module={69A0BC21-41F6-46DC-B6DE-5574138EF03C} /team={26E7EB95-35A8-41D3-AED9-FCE71571D6BD} /user=jsmith /password=secret /silent /onlineAgentsonly
- You can schedule only one Module, Project or Run Book per command line.
- You can specify only one Team or Agent per command line.
- If all the necessary Teams and/or Agents have already been configured in the Run Book, you do not need to schedule an Agent or Team for a Run Book. If the Run Book has an empty Who field anywhere, you do need to specify an Agent or Team parameter.
The GUID of a Module, Project, Run Book, Agent or Team is shown on the items's Properties tab.
