You might try using Clocker 2.0 - it is a program scheduler for Windows,
and users have reported that it works fine under NT.  Look for a full
32-bit version soon!  Follow up to this address or the one below...

Clocker is available on:
   ftp.cica.indiana.edu: /pub/pc/win3/uploads/DEC92/clockr20.zip
   Compuserve: CIS:WINADV, CLOCKR.ZIP

Clocker 2.0 -- A personal/network program scheduler for Windows 3.1
(C) 1992 Winnovation

Clocker is designed to schedule programs (or reminders) to be 
run at a scheduled time.  Both a private schedule and a shared 
network schedule can be active at the same time, so you can...

   * Backup your system periodically
   * Manage network backups
   * Run long processes during off hours
   * Schedule reminders for entire network
   * Download long data files during off-peak hours

System or Network administrators!  Clocker gives you the 
capability to execute processes on each machine on the 
network running Clocker.  This is done via a central schedule, 
which you alone control.  If you make a change to this schedule, 
all other machines will automatically update themselves from 
this file!

Other features:

   * Clocker's icon functions as a system clock
   * Group schedules fully password-protected

Registration is $24.95 for a single copy, and site licenses are available
at a discount.  Upon registration, you will receive a disk with the latest
version of Clocker, a printed manual, and a license statement with your
personal serial number and registration code combination.  Registered users
will receive free unlimited technical support and free upgrades to future 
versions of Clocker.
