I am getting the following error when trying to connect to another computer from the Task Scheduler on Windows 7:

"The remote computer was not found."

The computer that I am trying to connect to is definitely on the network as I can ping it and browse its shared folders in Windows Explorer.

Note that I get the same error message when trying to perform the same operation from Performance Monitor. This suggests that I need to something to enable remote connection to the Task Scheduler. I am not very experienced with Windows administration and I am not sure where to look.

To give a bit more context, I want to use the Task Scheduler to automatically start Perf Mon on a few machines at my company. I'd like to setup the Task Scheduler remotely.

Does anyone know what I need to do?
