How to copy many Scheduled Tasks between Windows Server 2008 machines?

I have several standalone Win2008 (R1+R2) servers (no domain) and each of them has dozens of scheduled tasks. Each time we set up a new server, all these tasks have to be created on it.

The tasks are not living in the 'root' of the 'Task Scheduler Library' they reside in sub folders, up to two levels deep.

I know I can use schtasks.exe to export tasks to an xml file and then use:

schtasks.exe /CREATE /XML ...' 

to import them on the new server. The problem is that schtasks.exe creates them all in the root, not in the sub folders where they belong. There is also no way in the GUI to move tasks around.

Is there a tool that allows me to manage all my tasks centrally, and allows me to create them in folders on several machines? It would also make it easier to set the 'executing user and password'.

So as nobody here had an answer, I sat down and wrote a small program myself.

It imports existing tasks into a database. You can then copy the database to another machine and create all the tasks in the same folder structure on the new machine.

You can also use it, to rename tasks, move them into different folders or delete multiple ones with a single click.

It requires .NET 4 and Vista or newer.

When you specify the task name using schtasks.exe you can add any folders you want to use to organize them with.

Schtasks.exe /create /xml taskname.xml /TN folder1\taskname

will create folder1 and then create taskname inside it.

It doesn't help you move already created tasks, but it does help you manage new ones.
