• Windows 7 and I have a batch file to copy files from 1 computer to another. It works fine alone, but when I put it to run in the Task Scheduler it shows it ends successfully, but nothing is happening

  I am running Windows 7 and I have a batch file to copy files from 1 computer to another.  It works fine alone, but when I put it to run in the Task Scheduler it shows it ends successfully, but nothing is happening.  None of the files are copied, and the control box does not appear.  Any ideas?

  Run a batch file in Task Scheduler

  Hello ITGIRL17,

  Thanks for posting on the Microsoft answers Forum.

  Configure your task under your administrator account.
  Then go to the folder with the batch file and ADD on control for the folder administrator permissions and each of the files in batches.
  If the batch files write data, then the target for the task should ALSO have all explicit permissions.
  Now try to run the Task Scheduler task.

  Also check the information from the following link and look specifically at Brian Vandemark Sommaire steps on 2 September.

• Windows 8 does not not log on screen, all black dekstop, explorer.exe, disc missing from the Task Manager

  Hey. I am a newbie in this forum. And I really like to make my PC more 'me' even though my parents and brother told me that my PC did not differ from how difficult. But, I still like my PC... ^ ^
  But my PC encountered a problem in my birthday (March 8, ehehe just FYI). Its a terrible birthday gift: (...) Oh, there. Its all started when I accidentally install a skin pack or win 7 in my PC 8 victory. There is nothing wrong with installing proggress except a notification which inform on win 7 Starter has not installed correctly. :( Well, I ignored, first. But after I have it reboot, my dekstop went all black but it still can open the Task Manager. And then I try the system restore. It did not work properly. The only thing made worse. Somehow, my "(le seul compte dans mon PC) DELETED account." In fact, the log on screen consist only of the ease of access and power button with backgorund optomistic. Where are the data of the user, I mean a place where we inserted the password? XC its make me super bad mood. And after some restoration system with various restore points, I restarted my PC in safe mode successfully. Yippie, its worked perfectly in safe mode. I created a new account in safe mode. I thought that my problem more but no. and the bad news is that there is only one user account (a new one) in the journal on the screen! It'll be better I have the new account very well work, but it didn't! The dekstop always all black with no taskbar and it's the same problem as the first.
  I am not really confusing. What should I do? Should I remove a skin pack safe mode? or reinstall win 8 in PC COUNTER? Or do something that you already know the guy?
  Help me. I am so irritated by this problem. In any case, I want to ask one last thing, you prefer something after me or just think it was a charitable organization? Well, I just want to know. And I'll do my best to show my appreciation once you help me. I am so TROUBLED even if today is my birthday! I want a big anniversary with neither party. But its seems no big birthday. Please, help me. His will probably be my MOST BEAUTIFUL GIFT to a person who I know in internet. If you need something detailed about my problem, ask me. I need your response. :") SURE ME MY CRAZY MOM, IF SHE KNEW IF I AM WRONG IN MY PC AGAIN.

  Oh, there. The explorer.exe does not start in normal mode, but it works fine in safe mode. Also, I discovered that the disc is missing from the Task Manager. :) Help?

  Wish you a very happy birthday, Damaris.

  Of course, I can understand the situation you're in right now, and it's a shame. I will be happy to answer your query and try my best to offer my help as a gift for your birthday.

  Let me ask you;

  1. What happened when you tried the system restore?
  2. What was the last time that the computer worked well?
  3. What security software is installed on the computer?
  4. Remember to no particular change in the computer before the show?

  The issue may be due to any dispute of third party software, virus or any system or missing files / corruption. Let's try the methods below and check the status.

  Method 1: Since you are able to start the computer in safe mode without any mistake, I you suggest to start the computer in safe mode and then perform the clean boot to avoid software conflicts.

  Step 1: Start the computer in safe mode (as you are able to start the computer in safe mode with the steps you tried).

  Step 2: Perform the clean boot

  To help resolve the error and other messages, you can start Windows 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.

  Put your system to the clean boot state helps determine if third-party applications or startup items are causing the problem. You must follow the steps in the article mentioned below to perform a clean boot.

  How to perform a clean boot in Windows

  Note: see 'How do I reset the computer to start normally after a boot minimum troubleshooting' to reset the computer starts normally after troubleshooting.

  Method 2: Run Microsoft Safety Scanner

  The Microsoft Security Scanner is a downloadable security tool for free which allows analysis at the application and helps remove viruses, spyware and other malware. It works with your current antivirus software.

  Microsoft safety scanner

  Note: The Microsoft Safety Scanner ends 10 days after being downloaded. To restart a scan with the latest definitions of anti-malware, download and run the Microsoft Safety Scanner again.

  Note: Data files that are infected must be cleaned only by removing the file completely, which means there is a risk of data loss.

  Method 3: Run the tool File Checker system in case where any system files are missing or corrupted.

  System File Checker is a Windows utility that allows users to find corruptions in Windows system files and restore the damaged files.

  Enter in the right edge of the screen and then click on Search. Or, if you use a mouse, point to the corner bottom right of the screen, then click on Search. Type the command prompt in the Search box, right click invite, and then click run as administrator. If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password, or click allow.

  At the command prompt, type the following command and press ENTER:

  sfc/scannow

  Note: Not close this command prompt window until the audit is 100% full. The results of the analysis will be posted when this process is completed.

  Hope this information is useful. Please feel free to answer in the case where you are facing in the future other problems with Windows.

• 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.

• Can not find the task in the Task Scheduler

  I created a fundamental task to connect to an ad - hoc network whenever I boot my laptop with Vista Home Premium 32-bit.  I don't want that to happen and I deleted the network tries to delete the task.  When I open the Task Scheduler, I don't see my task listed.  I made sure 'show hidden tasks '.  I know that the task runs as I continue to receive errors not being to find the ad hoc network.

  I created a new task of fundamental task, called 'test' starts just the calc program and it shows in the list of tasks.

  Any help?

  As others have found, if you change the name of your computer, scheduled tasks that have been associated with a specific user account (like the logon trigger, such as the credentials for the job and so forth) will no longer appear in the list of scheduled tasks. Scheduled tasks displays the message "an error has occurred for task xxxx. Error message: the specified account name is not valid. "The same thing happens if you delete a user account that is named in a scheduled task.
   
  The reason for the problem is that the computer name part of the account name (for example, "mycomputer\myaccount"), and so if a part of the name is not valid, the associated account is no longer recognized. Unfortunately, given that the scheduled tasks will not display the task entry broken, you cannot fix it directly.
   
  The tasks themselves are defined in XML files in plain text stored in \windows\system32\tasks. The files have the same name as their entries in scheduled tasks.
   
  If a task is not desired, you can simply delete the corresponding file from \windows\system32\tasks.
   
  If you want to restore a task, you must change the computer name and/or account name everywhere wherever he is in the job file. But, you can just edit the file in place to solve the problem. Scheduled task detects that the file has been modified externally and even once will not use or display.
   
  I managed to solve the problem by following these steps:

  1. Move the file to the task entry broken of the \windows\system32\tasks in another case. You want to move it, copy it not - file must be put out \windows\system32\tasks. You can do this by using Windows Explorer or move the command in a command prompt window.
  2. Using Notepad, open the file in its new location. Set the name of the computer or the name of the account as it happens and save the file. Repeat steps 1 and 2 for all other tasks of problem.
  3. Open scheduled tasks, or select the menu Action, refresh. It should be no error message now, given that the task of the problem has been removed.
  4. On the Action menu, use the import command to locate the edited file. This will restore the scheduled task.
  5. Test the restored task by opening and then run. Once everything works, you can remove older versions of the file task as you had moved it. Repeat steps 4 and 5 for any other task edited file.

• How to use the Task Scheduler to send an email

  I have Windows Live Mail + Windows 7

  I want my computer to send an email to someone on his own. I opened the Task Scheduler and creates a new task using the Task Scheduler 'send and send '. The problem is that the program asks only me who he is, which comes from the e-mail and how to use smtp server... He doesn't ask for my mail server login and user name, so in theory it would be rejected... and when it comes to send the message, now it does nothing without any error message.

  I have 2 settings of e-mail in Windows Live Mail accounts but how do I know the Task Scheduler program which includes use of e-mail and how to connect to the account to send it?

  best,

  Charlie

  This task seems to be used only in limited circumstances where a local Windows based SMTP server is available and security credentials are already established.  There is an interesting discussion about this in
  http://social.technet.Microsoft.com/forums/en-us/winservergen/thread/f087c57c-57b8-4c7f-ba2a-feb04c51f5ba

  One of the links posted http://www.microsoft.com/technet/prodtechnol/WindowsServer2003/Library/IIS/e4cf06f5-9a36-474b-ba78-3f287a2b88f2.mspx?mfr=true indicate a possible way to do so by implementing a service SMTP with IIS, but many (I think that most) ISPS block Port 25 and who would probably be a problem.

  It looks like using a 3rd party to contact the external mail server might be the best bet.

  Thanks for your reply, but I'm looking to make use of the 'send an Email' task which included in Task Scheduler... is something that has been there for a while and I've never understood how it would work... I open the Task Scheduler, create a "fundamental task" and click 'send', but I is not even asking me my user name or password? only the smtp server and the email I want to use!

• My VB2013 exe will not run the Task Scheduler but works very well for direct click in Explorer as well as a BAT file.

  The program is configured to run from a direct click using a text file specifying where the source files and destination.  Worked very well for a direct click or from the. BAT file.   It runs the Task Scheduler, I can see it appear in the Excel Task Manager when it is active.  But while it freezes.  He reads the spreadsheet looking for specific elements then output to a CSV text file.

• When I open the Task Scheduler, I get a message error «an error has occurred for task realupgradelogontasks...» »

  When I open the Task Scheduler, I get the following error message:

  an error has occurred for the realupgradelogontasks-1-5-21-2172834406-3963835389-1001 task. error message: the specified account name is not valid. What this means and how do I get rid of the error message?

  Windows 7 Home Edition Premium does not the local security policy. I didn't know that you have the version of the operating system.

  However, the error you get for realupgradelogontasks is RealPlayer. You can uninstall RealPlayer and reinstall to see if that will remove from TaskScheduler option to update.

  If this isn't the case, then check with RealPlayer for the taking in charge of this issue.

  Thank you

  Hello syncere99,

  1. What is the user account in the Task Scheduler are you for the work you are trying to use the Task Scheduler?

  The error code indicates that the user account that was used to create the job no longer exists. This could be because the user account is deleted. I suggest that you remove and re-create a job and check if you have the same problem.

  Thank you
