Newbie needs some help - converting a vbscript ASP page to run as a scheduled task

This may be a dumb question but here goes.

I have a retail web-site and back end order processing system built with vbscript that is currently hosted on GoDaddy on a shared hosting platform (i.e. I have no access to server based schedulers).

We are about to move to a dedicated server so I can now schedule "server" processes.

We have a number of ".asp" pages that perform tasks such as tidying up the database that right now we run by hand.

Is there any way to set-up a "server" based task that goes to a specific URL? It would need to login to the page automatically.

Alterntively is there a way to take the VBscript out of the .asp page and convert it to VisualBasic (or some other language) that would create an executeable file on my Windows 2003 server?

Thanks for any advice!

Looks like this hit the wrong thread.

I'll re-post in something more appropriate.
