Tableau doesn't seem to give the option to pick which month of the year
I'm running Tableau Server 2025.1.7 on premiser server with Windows Server 2022
Looked in to using windows task scheduler and tabcmd but it requires to put in the script the admin login and password. The password will change so this defeats the automation goal

Hi @Vinh Ton,
In Tableau Server, scheduling is limited to daily/weekly intervals—there’s no native option to pick specific months.
Options:
- Create multiple schedules (e.g., separate weekday + time combinations)
- For advanced control (months, specific dates):
- Use tabcmd / REST API + external scheduler
About credentials issue:
- Instead of hardcoding password, use:
- Personal Access Token (PAT) (recommended)
- Or Run As / service account with stored credentials
Best practice: Use PAT + Task Scheduler for secure, flexible automation
