Scheduled Task in a Windows 2003 cluster

I'm trying to create a schedules task in a windows 2003 cluster, but I can't.
I've done:

1.- Modify the following
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\SchedulingAg ent so that the tasks
folder location is pointed to the tasks subdirectory on the shared disk.
2.- Go into HKLM\SYSTEM\CURRENTCONTROLSET\SERVICES and write down the exact
name of the service that I want to create
3.- Go into Cluster Administrator to create a new resource in one group and
choose Generic Service
4.- Possible owners and choose Next and for dependencies, add the Disk and
the Network Name
5.- For the Service Name field, I typed the same that step 2

When I push Next I read an error. " The specified service does not exist as
an installed service"

Any ideas?

What name are you entering? You should be entering "Schedule" (without
quotes).

Thanks. I thought that Schedule was a suggestion, not a obligation
