• What happens when Task Scheduler is scheduled to wake the computer from sleep mode

  I have the windows vista Task Scheduler to wake the computer from sleep to run a command script. some tasks in the script work correctly and some do not. This is because the computer is "awake from sleep", whatever that means. This is not what is happening, because the tasks that the batch script runs when the computer is actually on, with display and all are very different tasks, it runs while the computer gets "awakened from his sleep", so what happens exactly when the task schedler wakes up the computer of mode sleep under vista? How is it possible to emulate a real awake state with the Task Scheduler to a State of sleep, according to a schedule?

• After creating a task, it is not listed in the Task Scheduler Library.

  Hello

  I created a system task to the system log. It was supposed to send an email to me whenever the event is logged.
  After saving it, I wanted to get to the Task Scheduler Library, but it has not been listed. I tried to create the task again, but it is said that a task with the same name already exists. The event took place, and when I looked at the status of the task, it shows the name of the task with the result of success.
  How can I remove / edit the task when I can't? Help appreciated.
  Thanks in advance

• What are the tasks we can perform by using Component Services in the Microsoft Management Console?

  Original title: use MMC

  Can someone enlighten me on component services, found in the administrative tools, including the management console folder. Is their anything that can be done by someone who has no knowledge on this subject, extensive Windows, I use XP (SP3) thank you.

  Hi ratchet.

  Microsoft Management Console (MMC) lets system administrators create much more flexible user interfaces and customize administration tools.

  See this link for the tasks that we can perform using Component Services in the Microsoft Management console.

  With Component Services, administrators can deploy and administer service applications of components through a graphical user interface or automate administrative tasks using a programming or scripting language. Software developers can use Component Services to visually configure routine component and behavior of the application, such as security and participation in transactions, and to integrate components into Component Services applications.

  Hello PK Swamy.

  Welcome to the Microsoft Community Forum.

  The Task Scheduler service lets you perform tasks on a chosen computer automated. With this service, you can program any program to run at a convenient time for you, or when a specific event occurs. Task Scheduler monitors the time criteria or the event that you choose and execute the task when these criteria are met.

  I understand that you are not able to create the Task Scheduler to restart the system. Please, I beg you, don't worry I'll try my best to resolve the issue.

  I suggest you try the following steps to create the Task Scheduler:

  1. click on start, type taskschd.msc in the start search box and press enter (it will launch the Task Scheduler).

  Note: If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation and click Ok.

  2 left click in the right pane on the Task Scheduler Library > open Action in main menu > new folder > name MyTasks > click Ok.

  3. left-click on the MyTasks > menu, choose Action > create a basic task (it open Assistant tasks).

  4. you can enter the name , for example "restart" and click on Next.

  5. in the trigger section, you can specify when you want to run your task, for example:

  a. Select daily and the press Next.

  b. now you can specify the day, time and all reproduce on a daily basis, after the press Next.

  6. in the Action section, you can choose what you want to run, for example, restart your system to do this:

  a. choose start a program and press on Next.

  b. in the field program/script , type shutdown /r and click on Next.

  7. click on end.

• Bug: Changing computer name is not reflected in the existing task scheduler tasks

  I changed the name of my computer some time ago.

  Today, when I went to the Task Scheduler to add a new task, I got an error message:

  "An error has occurred for task [task name ]. Error message: the specified account name is not valid. »

  When I clicked OK to clear the error from the Task Scheduler open OK, but the task identified in the error is not in the list of tasks, which means that it was impossible to consider the task or correct the error.

  When I checked the file containing the details of the task, I found that the task remained the old computer name, i.e. it was not being updated when I changed the name of the computer, and so the task was now where the error and was apparently being hidden.

  This seems to be a bug.  Preferably, the account names must be updated if the computer name is changed, or at least the task is still visible in Task Scheduler.

• Task Scheduler: run as the user who just logged?

  I'm trying to implement a task in Vista Task Scheduler, and I want a task to run after a user connects (easy enough) and run as one coming from connect - that is to say use the user account of the person who just logged on, not a specific predefined user account.

  Can I do this?
  I want to do this is because I want to send a notification that "user X comes to connect."  I'm trying to get the information of the user for example 'whoami' or username, but if the task is scheduled to be executed by using a predefined user account, then you get just the username of this user account preset, not the user name of the user who just logged.
  Any ideas?
  Thank you.

  Hi drmrbrewer,.

  For your information; It is not possible to schedule a task to send a notification on the connection to the account through Windows Task Scheduler.

• How can I prevent the shutdown task scheduler engine, get the new display detected to work and avoid receiving the message "Internet Explorer has encountered a problem and stop"? __

  My laptop is a Dell Inspiron 1520, running Windows Vista Home Edition Premium and Internet Explorer 9.  My extra monitor is a Sharp Aquos LED HD - TV, the model LC-46LE700UN.  I've been using a VGA cable to me onnecter the laptop and TV.

  The laptop seems to operate normally when not connect to the TV.

  As soon as the VGA cable is connected to the laptop (without being connected to the TV), the following message appears:

  'Microsoft Windows - Task Scheduler engine has stopped working.  A problem caused the blocking of the program works correctly.  Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is found. »

  When initially, I connected the laptop to TV, "new display detected" was automatically acti EV.  Soon, it was activated is no longer automatically.  I was able to activate manually using Windows Mobility Center during automatic activation failed initially but now Windows Mobility Center no longer detects the new view.

  Using Fn + F8, I can view the image on the laptop or TV, but not both simultaneously.

  The message "Internet Explorer has encountered a problem and stop" appears intermittently, but I can still make internet sites and show the content after the message.

  I have download software, myp2p.eu, a site for watching TV programs "streaming", including PPStream, Sopcast, Live, Stream Torrent Sina, a Swarm, TVAnts, UUSee, VGO and Veetle player and canceled downloads for PPL (who failed an integrity check), PPMate (corrupted) and (blocked) TVKoo.

  Norton Security quarantined the installer of UUSee, indicating that it was a high risk of program with many users.

  To a computer repair shop and using a different additional display flat screen, I could not duplicate the problems yesterday (4 October 2010), when the "new detected display" has been activated automatically, and I could see the photo or the other and both screens.

  I tried to restore the system to a date (on the list) before when the problems occurred first - failure of the restoration of the system.  I tried to use scandisk, but received no indication that he had performed and corrected all errors found after restarting Windows.  I looked at responses from forum, the display setting and the new display detected support literature.

  How can I avoid these problems?  Help!

  Hello

  Restoring the system end up with any error message?

  This could also happen if one of the substantive programmes is in conflict with the proper functioning of your computer. To troubleshoot error messages and other issues,
  You can start Windows Vista by using a minimal set of drivers and startup programs. This type of boot is known as a "clean boot". A clean boot helps eliminate software conflicts.

  Steps-
  1 log on to the computer using an account with administrator rights
  2. click on start, type msconfig.exe in the start search box and press ENTER to start the System Configuration utility.
  If you are prompted for an administrator password or for confirmation, type your password, or click on continue
  3. on the general tab, click Selective startup, and then clear the check box load startup items. (The check box use the file Boot is not available.)
  4. on the Services tab, click to select the skin all the Microsoft services check box, and then click Disable all

  Note: Following this step lets services Microsoft continue to run. These services include networking, Plug-and-Play, record of events, error reporting, and other services.
  If you disable these services, you can permanently delete all restore points. Do not do this if you want to use with existing restore points system restore utility

• How to configure Task Scheduler to run the program when the connection is established

  Windows 7 64 bit
  Dial-up Internet access

  I want to use the Windows 7 Task Scheduler to run a program IMMEDIATELY AFTER a dial-up connection is made to the internet.

  How can I configure the Task Scheduler in Windows 7 to do this, please?

  I am familiar with the Scheduler of tasks with the command line parameters.  Any help is appreciated.

  Thank you

  FYI: If an example is needed, Microsoft Security Essentials can be configured to update virus through this path with the argument definitions:

  C:\Program Files\Microsoft Security Essentials/MpCmdRun.exe SignatureUpdate

  Maybe someone can use it to show how to configure the Windows 7 Task Scheduler to update MSE virus definitions, once the connection dial-up was made?

  Otherwise, for example, another program to run once established a dial-up connection would be OK, thanks

  Hello

  Scheduler of tasks is time driven.

  For order-driven event, you need a script.

  Question like that is much better treated in the TechNet IT Pro Forums.

• Can I stop or restart the Task Scheduler service from the command prompt in Windows 2008 service?

  I'm on Server 2008. I have a scheduled task that is not working properly. I went to Services, and I see that it is configured to start automatically and it is actually being run. The problem is that I can't stop, pause, or restart the service. Y at - there a command I can run that can stop or restart the service?

  Why not with the right button of the job itself in the Task Scheduler, and then stop it?

  There are several methods to stop the Task Scheduler service that. Here's one of them:

  1. Create a task scheduled, called 'StopScheduler' as follows:
     -Triggering factor: at boot time
     -Command: sc.exe
     -Settings: time stop
     -User: System
     -Run with the highest privileges.
  2. Right click on the task of StopScheduler, and then click Run.
  3. Solve your tasks.
  4. Restart the Task Scheduler.
  5. Disable or remove the task StopScheduler.

  Note also that this forum focuses on the issue of Windows 7 in a domestic environment. There are dedicated forums for Server 2008.
