    There's no obvious way to do this in the Task Scheduler. I ran across a post linking to a 'command line' utility that supposedly supported a 'LastDay' argument, but the link was broken. Another reply in that post said 'LastDay' was equivalent to selecting 'run on the 31st of each month' in GUI, but a different reply said you could only do it by specifying the 28th as that was the only day all months have in common.

    So, is there a way to run a scheduled task on the last day of the month? Thanks.

    Use the command line tool schtasks with the LASTDAY parameter.

    Schtasks
    Search the page for Lastday Syntax
