Start Windows Task from Outlook Macro

Question

Is it possible to run a scheduled Task in Windows Server 2008 from an Outlook Macro? Background is that it should be possible to start this task on incoming emails with a special subject. The task normally runs every day, but sometimes it should be triggered manually and not everybody has access to the server. Maybe someone has a solution or a better alternative.

EDIT: My solution was:

Shell ("C:\Windows\System32\SchTasks.exe /run /tn ""ApprovalSupporter""")

Can't remember the exact details, but you should be able to execute a command using ShellExecute or something similar and then you can probably just run Schtasks /RUN as described in this Technet article: Schtasks

Edit: Here's a link for ShellExecute
