I have a 2-node Windows Failover Cluster that I have clustered the Task Scheduler in to run my batch application. However I have certain tasks (backups, log rotation, etc) that need to run daily on each node independent of the cluster. Is there a way to setup a second instance of the Task Scheduler that runs independent of the clustered one?
Is it possible to create multiple instances of the Windows Task Scheduler

On 2008 server, you have the new task scheduler. You should be able to set up an event-triggered task to enable/disable the other scheduled tasks. You just have to identify the failover event in the event logs, and use that as the task trigger. You should also be able to leverage the taskscheduler module in the powershell pack
