Computer not stay awake for the scheduled task

System wakes up to the task at the right time, but falls asleep almost immediately after starting the task.  Power management is set to put the computer to sleep after 20 minutes, but eventlog shows the alarm system at 01:59 for the scheduled task and to sleep at 02:02.

Am running Vista Home Basic SP2

Excellent.  I am pleased to learn that the problem is essentially solved with only a little extra configuration of the task remaining.

I am happy that I was able to help.  It was my pleasure.

Thanks for the comments, and we do know that it worked.  This can help other people with the same problem.

Good luck and best wishes!

    Hi Aurélie Rozier,.

    Click on the Start button and type "Calendar" in the search box. The option tasks planning must appear in the search list. Click (or double-click) on this option to launch scheduled tasks. When the window tasks planned opens leaves the Task Scheduler list fill out and then look to the bottom of this list for planning thye name, that you want to change. When you have found, right-click on it and choose Properties. In the Properties window, click the triggers tab and then click Edit at the bottom of the special editing window. You should be able to change the time from there.

  • Reconfigure the scheduled task

    With the help of a previous script LucD http://www.lucd.info/2009/10/18/scheduled-tasks-methodaction/ I'm able to succeed in creating a task scheduled that powers on a virtual machine. I need to extend this so that if the existing task is already there it will update with the new configuration. I downloaded the SDK and read the docs to try to understand but he always aludes me.

    $dtmDate = get-Date
    $gmtoffset = 6
    $startTime = $dtmDate.AddHours ($gmtoffset)

    $emailAddr = "< emailaddr >.
    $vm = "< vm >".
    $folder = "SchedTask".
    $vmview = get-View (Get - VM $vm)
    $folderview = get-View (Get-file $folder)

    $spec = new-Object VMware.Vim.ScheduledTaskSpec
    $spec. Name = 'Turned on' + $vm
    $spec. Description = 'Turned on' + $vm
    $spec. Enabled = $true
    $spec. Notification = $emailAddr
    $spec. Timer = New-Object VMware.Vim.OnceTaskScheduler
    $spec. Scheduler.runat = $startTime
    $spec. Action = New-Object VMware.Vim.MethodAction
    $spec. Action.Name = "PowerOnVM_Task."

    $svcRef = new-object VMware.Vim.ManagedObjectReference
    $svcRef.Type = 'ServiceInstance.
    $svcRef.Value = 'ServiceInstance.
    $serviceInstance = get-views $svcRef

    $stMgr = get-View ($serviceInstance.Content.ScheduledTaskManager)

    $stMgr.CreateScheduledTask($vmview.) MoRef, $Spec)

    This should do the trick.

    $dtmDate = Get-Date $gmtoffset = 6 $startTime = $dtmDate.AddHours($gmtoffset)
    
    $emailAddr = "[email protected]" $vm = "MyVM" $folder = "SchedTask"$vm = Get-VM $vm
    $spec = New-Object VMware.Vim.ScheduledTaskSpec$spec.Name = "Power On " + $vm.Name
    $spec.Description = "Power On " + $vm.Name
    $spec.Enabled = $true$spec.Notification = $emailAddr$spec.Scheduler = New-Object VMware.Vim.OnceTaskScheduler$spec.Scheduler.runat = $startTime$spec.Action = New-Object VMware.Vim.MethodAction$spec.Action.Name = "PowerOnVM_Task"
    $stMgr = Get-View ScheduledTaskManager$stMgr.RetrieveEntityScheduledTask($vm.ExtensionData.MoRef) | %{
        $st = Get-View -Id $_ | where {$_.Info.Name -eq $spec.Name}
    }
    
    if($st){
        $spec.Name += " Updated"    $st.ReconfigureScheduledTask($spec)
    }
    else{
        $stMgr.CreateScheduledTask($vm.ExtensionData.MoRef, $Spec)
    }
    

    The script sets the $spec object as before. It then checks if a task with this name already exists for the virtual machine.

    If so, it calls the ReconfigureScheduledTask method.

    Otherwise, it calls the CreateScheduledTask method.

    Note that I have adapted the script a bit to use some features present in newer versions of PowerCLI.

    As proof that the existing scheduled task is updated, I change the name for the scheduled task.

    But you can change any property in the object $spec in the same way

  • the computer starts automatically to perform a scheduled task

    . Using MS and Office 10, at night after I've apres que j' ai ferme closed computer off tension and a scan or upgrade is expected early the morning before I restart, because restarting the computer automatically during the scan or update.  Thank you and Semper Ben

    Hi Ben,

    1. what program you use to scan the computer?

    If you use Microsoft Security Essentials, to launch the scheduled scan, the computer must be turned on and not in sleep or hibernation mode. The computer might be in idle state (no programs are running) to run a scheduled scan. If the computer is turned off or in hibernation when the scan of the annex, at the next restart, that the scan will not start automatically because the scheduled scan time is up and launch scan only the next scheduled time.

  • Not able to see the published task and not able to reset the version for the task

    Hello

    Created a task, validated, by selecting the task button you click on publish in the tools to publish the task.
    Customer application (Callcenter) sailed Administration - Business Process - > deployment task
    Here, unable to see the task added to activate.

    I tried twice to copy folder but not able to see.
    I am not able to reset the version for the created task.

    Could you please let me know how to overcome these.

    Using the database of the siebel8.0.0.5 example

    Thank you

    NO, you don't have to copy the srf tools file to the location of the customer.

    just when compiling your project or changes you must click on the Browse button and navigate to the customer i.e. srf "/ web client/objects/enu/siebel.srf".

    but before, also compile all projects to the strategic outcomes of the client.

    the other thing you should check is client and tools should point to the same database that you should check the cfg files of the two respectively in [[example]] section connectstring = "\sample\utf-8\sse_samp.dbf."

    no doubt, maybe that's the problem.

  • SQLcl throws the Exception on start and stop operating within the scheduled task

    I'm on Windows Server 2012 R2 runs a script TakeCommand (jpsoft.com) as a task scheduled using SQLcl - 4.2.0.15.177.0246.

    The script is invoked, when the account (with administrative privileges) who runs the scheduled task is not connected to the machine.

    The scenario is as follows:

    • servers both windows ServerA and ServerB (virtual servers)
    • ServerA has a SAN connected directly (as E drive)
    • ServerB remotely accesses drive E on ServerA and maps in drive E (guest ServerB cmd > net use e: \\ServerA\e)
    • the problem occurs on server b.

    Corr 04/09/2015: the SAN is not the cause of the errors/exceptions - it's just that the user who runs the scheduled task is not logged on and therefore has no APPDATA

    When SQLcl is called, the following lines are recorded... (italics: private information, "BOLD": SQLcl output not visible when the user connects while work is carried out at the request)

    03/09/2015 12:16:41.979 to connect to the jdbc URL ... (this output is to the batch calling SQLcl - everything below is SQLcl or SQL script)

    Message geändert durch stueckl - information server added

    Message geändert durch stueckl - information server deleted - it's a general problem

    If we were talking about developer SQL itself rather than SQLcl, then the solution is simple... you can always force your user settings to a folder accessible in arbitrary writing using the ide.user.dir environment variable just add something like this line to the file sqldeveloper.conf to your installation:

    AddVMOption - Dide.user.dir =

    SQLcl, however, is hard-coded dependency on APPDATA in Windows (and user.home on Linux).  May not be feasible in your case, but in some cases simple, APPDATA can be overridden in the script that launches the SQLcl and the NetEntries and xml SQL history files are read from / written to this file.

    For example: value APPDATA = C:\Temp

    Hi Bill,

    1. what exactly happens when you run the backup program?

    If a scheduled task does not run when you expect it, right-click the task, and then click Properties. On the Task tab, make sure that the enabled check box is selected. On the tab schedule, check that planning is set correctly.

    Hello Steven,

    Did you ever receive notifications that a virus or malware has been removed from your system recently?
    My only thought is that it is the remains of an infection on your machine.
    It is most likely harmless, but I don't understand why you'd be concerned.
    Do you have any task scheduled to run at startup using Task Scheduler built into Windows?
    I would check to see if there are tasks to run at startup:

    Hello

    "Frequent" is a dynamic screen; your BB automatically there are some things that you use frequently. There is therefore, no manual way to move that you describe (since its automatic and dynamic, based on your usage). On the contrary, what you find is the master for these applications... icon probably they are inside your "Applications" folder, normally visible on the screen "All".
