title: Scheduling tasks in Microsoft CRM 2011
body: <p>I need to schedule the import/ export of contacts in Microsoft CRM 2011 (online and on premises).</p>
  
  <p>I plan to create a custom entity to store the scheduled tasks, and a form to set them up (similar to Windows Task Scheduler).</p>
  
  <p>I am not sure how can I actually execute the scheduled tasks. Does CRM 2011 have a service or API I could use to schedule tasks? The solution must work in CRM 2011 online and on premises. Thank you so much.</p>
