Setup a windows scheduled task which executes a batch file that contains the nessesary SQLCMD switches and pass in the command in a SQL file via the -i switch.

Now we fall into the troubleshooting steps of why it cannot connect.
Server up and running?
Correct server name listed in the -S switch?
Can connect via SSMS to the server?
Server set to allow remote connections?
As its SQL Express, you will more than likely have a named instance so you will need to ensure that the -S switch is correctly set -S computername\SQLExpress

I do have a named instance, and i did use the correct name. What I saw is that named pipe for that instance is disabled. I can connect to the named instance using management studio without a problem.

Try disabling the named pipes client protocol, it should be the last one it falls back on anyway, typical config is that it goes shared memory, tcp/ip, named pipes.

Below is what I got. How about using stored procedure? All I need is to have a job truncate two tables from two different databases to get truncated on weekly bases.
HResult 0x274D, Level 16, State 1

fused it.
