• Running task
• View task status
• Delete task
• Automatically perform the same actions on multiple computers.
• Retrieving and saving a list of computers in a graphic form Domain export-Import

The ManGroupTask program can be downloaded at the address , the source code is also included in the archive, which allows you to refine this program.
