What I can see right now: JobTime must be a pointer to a value; and you are assigning some integer; same thing about jobid: you pass uninitialized pointer, but it should point to some

DWORD<code> value.<br />

Few issues.

1) (unsigned short*)"C:\\idle.exe" is not how you do Unicode strings. You put an L in front of it, like L"C:\\idle.exe"

2) The final parameter, jobid, is an output parameter.

C++

DWORD jobid; //Not LPDWORD
NetScheduleJobAdd(NULL,(LPBYTE)&s,&jobid)

This gives it the address of the variable jobid, so it can save the output value in it.

1 more thing, you are missing the line feed in the printf, so everything is squished up on the one line. Should be printf("sucess\n");
