What prevents you from using Windows Scheduler?

If the server from which it is run is turned off when Scheduler would run the command, then there could be a gap of, say, 24 hours, until the Scheduler ran the command again. If Scheduler were to try to run the command while it was already running in keepuptodate mode, then error messages would be generated.I don't want to run it from Startup since no-one may be logged in.
I would prefer not to run 3rd party tools to force it into Run as a service, so it would be very useful to run as a service, if possible.
