Is there another way to run nightly python scripts?

Is there another possible way to run nightly python scripts on Microsoft Server other than Windows Task Scheduler (such as the method available from ESRI below), possibly with SQL Manager and a Batch script? We were running via Task Scheduler, but it stopped working about a month back.

It depends on your architecture. Is your server running ArcGIS Server? If so you can publish your processes as a GeoProcessing Tool; and the use another tool to schedule and call the Rest-Endpoint to launch the service.

We are using a batch-manager called JAMS (from MVPSI) that is very powerful for doing a variety of job management tasks. It is pricey but; it addresses a number of business needs.In other places we have schedules that run from FME Server.

There are a number of other tools to do basic job execution (CRON etc) that can meet your needs; you just really need to target which fits you task.
