IIS5 + Automatic sscript execution

[Anon]

Hey guys, I am looking for a way to get several PHP scripts to run at a certain interval (basically every midnight). I ahve heard how to do this in Linux, but unfortunatly my company is using win2k + IIS5 machines.
Currently we schedule tasks by just leaving a desktop machine with the scripts running in a browser window, set to refresh every 24 hours. It is quite a nasty way to do it and I would like to find a better way.
Does anybody have any ideas about this?

A quick thought would be to use something like the getstore() function in perl to 'get' the URL of your script. ActivePerl allows for easy installation of CPAN modules (you'll need LWP::Simple for the getstore() function). Then use Win2K's at command, or something like wincron to schedule the perl script. Probably not the most elegant solution, but it should work 🙂
