• Scheduled task runs only if connected (W2k3 server)

  Hello

  This was bugs me for a week now: W2k3 server a customer has a problem to launch a specific scheduled task.

  The task calls first on an application that generates files; Excel is open, then a macro is executed, which saves more than some files; Finally, these files are copied to a UNC path to another server.

  -The permissions on all the files are OK (account used is domain administrator)

  -"Run only if connected" is NOT selected

  -But: Excel displays apparently the first home screen whenever it is opened with this account.

  Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

• Empty. CSV only when presents itself as a scheduled task.

  I have a script that I am trying to run in 2012 R2 Windows Task Scheduler. The script works fine manually, but as a scheduled task, the .csv file is delivered empty. Who that it fell on this before?

  I run it on the Server Windows 2012 and it works very well. Looking at your script, add the following line to the first line of your script:

  Add-PSSnapin VMware.VimAutomation.Core

  For the Action, I use:

  C:\Windows\system32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\powershell.exe

  And the argument:

  -PSConsoleFile "C:\Program Files (x 86) \VMware\Infrastructure\vSphere PowerCLI\vim.psc1"-command '& {C:\scheduled\report.ps1} '.

  Let me know if this does not work.

• Only one task to be scheduled snapshots of several machines

  Hello

  Anyone know how I can use scheduled tasks to create a single task that will be instant of several virtual machines? I have 10 machines I want instant and prefer to create a task of 10.

  Thank you

  Robert

  If you use the scheduled tasks in vCenter, it is possible for 1 item at a time.  You might consider a PowerCLI script if you do several.

• Access to the content of the problems and configuring scheduled tasks

  Hi all!

  I am new to the community. IM an apprentice in the last year. I'm working with vmware esx / vsphere since August 2009.

  In December 2009 I started to script powershell and powerCLI.

  Maybe someone can help me, I searched for a long time, but I do not know how.

  I have a small script that takes you through some menus. There you can select the data center, the template and insert the name of the virtual machine. Data warehouses and the host or a cluster will automatically get to deploy. In the end, the script creates an INI file like this:

  vmname = test

  Location = VENV40

  Model = w2k3eesp2x32_template

  Cluster_Host = adcv43e.xxx.yyyy .net

  DatastoreSystem = esx40_nfs01_SystemDrives1

  DatastoreSwap = esx40_nfs02_SwapDrives1

  VCenterVENV = xx.yy.xx.yyy

  Now to my problem. The second script should be an infinite loop, looking if there are a few new INI files.

  Due to our policies, we can only deploy during the night (storage overhead). We have 3 "slots".  to 01:00 to 03:00 and 05:00, where we can deploy a virtual machine.

  The second script should get the regular deployment of the Vcenter task and check if there is a "slot" to deploy, if not, check the next night and so on.

  My problems are:

  I can not only the deployment task

  The departure time you have a time difference in the vcenter? (eastern daylight time?)

  When I got the available task, how to create a new one with the Ini file information?

  Someone at - it an idea?

  That's what I have so far. It was just to try if I can get the scheduled task

  1. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

  2. Force load (otherwise VMware.Vim items are not known)

  http://Reflection.Assembly: LoadWithPartialName ("vmware.vim")

  CLS #clearscreen

  $svcRef = new-object VMware.Vim.ManagedObjectReference

  $svcRef.Type = 'ServiceInstance.

  $svcRef.Value = 'ServiceInstance.

  $serviceInstance = get-views $svcRef

  1. This returns a MoRef scheduled task manager

  $schMgr_ref = $serviceInstance.Content.scheduledTaskManager

  1. This returns the actual scheduled task manager object

  $schMgr_obj = get-views $schMgr_ref

  1. The method must be called on the object

  2. The method requires 1 argument.

  3. As the API Ref stipulates that when the parameter is Null, the method will return

  4. all scheduled tasks

  $foo = $schMgr_obj. RetrieveEntityScheduledTask ($null)

  1. The method returns an array of task object references

  {foreach ($task in $foo)

  $infos = (get-view $task) .info

  $taskname = $infos. Name

  $taskdate =($infos.) Scheduler). RunAt

  $task = "$taskname", "$taskdate".

  }

  Greetings PowaCLI

  There are two problems.

  (1) the property $cloneSpec.Location.Pool must a resourcepool pint. In the script below I took the default value (and hidden) resourcepool called Resources.

  (2) the $spec. Scheduler property must be one of AfterStartupTaskScheduler, OnceTaskScheduler, RecurrentTaskScheduler.

  You will probably need to put the $spec. Scheduler.runAt to the property a value if you want to avoid the task starts immediately.

• credentials are not passed to the script that is run as a scheduled task

  I create a new thread since I did not see any action on the existing, where I posted (not sure if anyone saw it because the age of the thread).  For reference, see http://communities.vmware.com/message/1406190.  But the main thing is the execution of a script as a scheduled task is not correctly the credentials of the Windows service account to the cmdlet Connect-VIServer.  When you run this cmdlet, it throws the following error:

  SE connect-VIServer: & lt; SourcePath & gt;\%APPDATA%\VMware\credstore to & lt; SourcePath & gt; \scriptname.ps1:41 tank: 17

  Anyway, the rumor was that it was corrected in PowerCLI 4.0, but this doesn't seem to be the case as Alan Renouf (and now me) have pointed out.  On my original message in this thread...

  My two cents to Rob, Luc and Alan. I had this problem with PowerCLI 4 as well. However, I think it's sort of fixed. Here's my situation:

  (1) I have an account with appropriate permissions vCenter AD service.

  (2) I have run the scheduled task of options with this service AD account while connected to the server and it works of course very well.

  (3) I log off.

  (4) script continues to work fine until the server is restarted (which of course happens every month for Microsoft patches).

  (5) to resolve what I can simply log in with my account service and connect immediately - I have not even interactively run the script to fix.

  So it seems to me that connecting you must create the APPDATA % environment variable and apparently a disconnect is not clear the variable correctly or something.

  My main question, that is why "Connect-VIServer" even trying to make a call to that path? Must not only do that when I call it "Get-VICredentialStoreItem"? My script is done simply:

  [string]$strVCServer = "servername.domain"
  Connect-VIServer -Server $strVCServer

  I'm not trying to save credentials as pass through must work properly and be a bit more secure.

  Hi Allen,.

  Yes, the problem is solved in U1. He is not related to PS 2.

  Kind regards

• BITSADMIN and scheduled tasks

  Does anyone have experience making bitsadmin more useless in a scheduled task?  It seems to be limited to the use of the command-line connected except for the / create command.  Otherwise, it fails because the user is not connected (will work even if at the request of task if you logged in and 'run now'), but when you are disconnected, the task runs but bitsadmin gives errors like:
  Cannot add file to job - 0x800704dd
  The requested operation was not because the user is not connected to the network.

  The specified service does not exist.

  This behavior even in Xp and S 2008 / Vista.

• restart of the computer from standby when I press start on the system unit, but not when a scheduled task is started

  Windows XP Professional SP3, updates, motherboard Asus P4P800 series (2006). The original system dates back to 2002, but there have been many additions and replacement upgrade. More recently, 2011, two old hard drives have been replaced (XP had destroyed itself requiring a reinstallation), with a much larger and HD, and the cpu has been replaced by a 3 GHz one.

  I've configured the BIOS to enable the use of standby mode (standby). I wanted to be able to run scheduled backup jobs early in the morning, a little before I wake up normally. The goal was to conserve energy. Whenever I leave the computer for more than an hour or two, I put it in sleep mode. In recent years, that it worked well.

  Scheduled tasks are still, in fact, more surely than ever. But now, when I press the Start button on the system unit, the operating system is restarted rather than restore the State of the system at the time of Eve. This happened almost constantly for maybe a week. I was always a guard never enter sleep mode when I'm aware of any application running who has not completed a requested operation (save a file, defragment a disk, etc.).

  I searched on the basis of knowledge, but not found any problems like that. There has been no hardware changes, no new devices; only change of important software (but it is difficult to see how it might be relevant) was the resettlement of Java Runtime Environment 6.x to support the help of OpenOffice. Although I have not checked, I am reasonably sure that all drivers are up-to-date.

  No idea why this should suddenly become a problem or how to fix?

  Hello Steven,

  I get the message that Scheduler tasks not preformed tasks does not

  You have can not be programmed tasks, but one or several applications that you have installed probably made (without bothering to tell you).  Google is a likely culprit, but certainly not the only one.

  Most of these tasks are "phone home" search for updates of applications.  If you ask me, you're better off with tasks not running - but I'm sure that you don't like the error message at every startup.

  Rather than starting at the end with the section of the "Troubleshooting" section, begins to run and find out what's on demand - so you can decide whether you care or not that it is not performed.

  Click Start > Accessories > system tools > scheduled tasks

  The window tasks planned opens and you can see the list of tasks.  If you want the tasks to be performed, but they are not, then follow «troubleshooting» article  If you don't want the task to run, do a right click and 'delete '.

  Or, if you do not want to risk to delete something you don't know, but don't want the error of "missed tasks", right-click on a task, select properties and then uncheck the box in the tab 'Task' that says 'Enabled '.  This will give time to what the job is all about and why he could not be executed but will prevent the message "some tasks have been missed" to come whenever you start the search.

• services that run via scheduled task

  Hi all

  I am creating a task scheduled to start/stop services. the scheduled task must be run under the service account with minimal rights, as rights of the user or the user rights of maximum power.
  I created the scheduled task running under the account of service with power user rights to stop a service, but unfortunately the task was doing what it suppose to do.
  I did some troubleshooting and investigated as shown below:
  1. I used the runas command to run net stop under the service account that runs the scheduled task, the service is stopped, as it is assumed
  2. I connect to the server using the account service and disconnected (the session will be shown in the disk for the service account) and at the same time open a session to the server with a different account performed the scheduled task, the task does what it is supposed to do. (the service is stopped)
  Note: the scheduled task is set to enabled (scheduled task to run at a specified time)
  3 when I changed the rights on behalf of rights of administrator power user rights service and perform scheduled task, the task runs correctly and does what he must do.
  4. the service was set to be managed by the user with power, which means that if a user opens a session on the server and try to start/stop the service, he will be able to action and is successful.
  my questions will be as shown below:
  1. to start/stop the service via a scheduled task, the service account needs a session to be able to perform the task?
  2 must. the service account the highest privileges to perform the task?
  3. is there a way to avoid to run the scheduled task to run with minimum privileges? What kind of things need to be done.
  Thanks in advance for your answer.

  I would look at the link below.  This should answer all these questions.

• Win XP Pro - scheduled tasks

  I need more information about scheduled tasks.

  My backup software does not work. I get error logs.

  I need more examples to make it work.

  This isn't a lot of information to go.

  Here are a few notes unattractive, I have about scheduled tasks that can help you get started.  One day I have to make it more presentable:

  It is strongly suggested that the task entrusted to a user with a password (using the administrator account is not recommended), so create a new user with a password just for tasks or add a password to your account, if necessary.

  You can temporarily assign a password for test and worry about that later. This time just to see if your ST mechanism works correctly.

  If you configure the task to use the same account that you log in, you'll usually be able to see the task to launch and start running while you use the computer.  It is useful to see the task run in front of your eyes.

  If you configure the task to use another account that connect with the task must run again (and you see it), but for the test, use your own login account and then change the account of the task uses later when you're sure that it all works.

  If you try to create a new task by using an account that does not have a password, you will get this error trying to create the task:

  The new task has been created, but may not work because the account information could not be set.

  The specific error is 0x80070005: access is denied.

  Still, the task will be created, but it will not run correctly.

  Is there a way to get around that, but get this working first for if ensure your mechanism of the scheduled task is not afflicted.

  Stop the Task Scheduler service. Click on start, settings, Control Panel, administrative tools, services and locate the Task Scheduler Service and stop it.

  Remove or rename the scheduled task probably cluttered log file that is usually found here:

  c:\Windows\SchedLgU.txt

  Restart the Task Scheduler service to create a new journal (it's just a text file) and verify that a new log file has been created and that it looks like this:

  "Task Scheduler service".

  Started on 01/01/2010 06:26:43

  [* The most recent entry is above this line *]

  Navigate to the folder c:\windows\tasks to see all your tasks. Expand the Explorer window you can see all the columns interest by dragging the column headers for each column.

  The next columns Run Time, last run time, status and latest results are interesting. You can also click Advanced and view the log file of ST from here.

  Choose to add scheduled task.  Create a new task to run once command prompt now.  If you do not have a PW on your account, you will get an error while trying to create it (more on that later).  The new task will still be created, but it will never run. Assign a password to your account, at least temporarily, to test your mechanism of the scheduled task.

  After you have assigned your login password account temporarily, adjust the new scheduled task, you created to run the command prompt so that it uses the same account and password used to log on to Windows and the task must configure and save without error.

  Right-click the new task command prompt and choose run and a command window should open immediately.  If this isn't the case, something is wrong.  If so, your mechanism is healthy.  Examine the log file to view your results.

  Given that the task of the command prompt is configured to run under your account, that is why you will see the command prompt window open immediately.  If you have configured the task to use a different account (with a password of course), the task of the command prompt would run under this name of users (not your own) and you wouldn't open the command prompt window, but the task would be running and you can see in the Task Manager.  This way you know your ST mechanism works.

  Now that you know how to execute tasks manually, how to observe the columns of information, to know how to remove the log file, you can apply this knowledge to your new task.  Make sure that the Task Scheduler service is running again if you don't stop it to remove the log during the test.

  Assign properties to your new task or annoying that match your login (at least for testing), observe the columns and the newspaper.  If your task fails to run manually, errors in the log file are the clues to find out what to do next.

  Always try to return to the simple task of command prompt that you created to make sure that the ST mechanism working properly - before you know for sure that one works.  Then apply your knowledge to get your new task to work.

  You can edit the task properties to use your login account and password since you know it is working on the task from the command prompt.  If you change your new task and choose to run it and logged in with the same account, you should see your Execute task.  When you are satisfied, it is not working properly, you probably don't want to interrupt you while you are connected, so change it back the properties to use another connection to the user account that has a password that you have created just to run your scheduled tasks.

  Tasks that are created by other applications will use the special account NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM.  This account has no password and is typically used for system-oriented tasks, but you will only be able to see the performance when you use the Task Manager.

  If you try to manually run a ST as you see it open any window to run, but you will see running in Manager tasks and in the log file.  If you want to see actually run, change the properties to use your account and password, solve the task, and then change the properties back and test it again.

  These types of tasks can work very well, but you can tell by the log file, looking in the Task Manager, or columns of status in the folder tasks.  If you temporarily modify the task to use the same account and password you use to log in, you will be able to watch him run.

  Once you understand how to get a simple task like working of command prompt and you know where is the log file and how to edit the task properties, you can work on your new task or afflicted and make it work.

  There are ways around some of the restrictions and requirements, but it is best to only use what you have and use wisely.

  A common problem with scheduled tasks is that there is no password for the account used to create the task or people expect to 'see' the task running when it is not assigned to their connection and when theydon can't see anything and think that the job is not running.  This isn't how it works.  The log file and the Task Manager will tell you what is actually happening.

  If you're used to not having a password on your account because you do not have to enter a when you login or you are the only user on your system and decide to start using some mesh, it is sometimes easier to simply assign a password for your account, or just create a new user account XP with a password and use it for the m.  You can assign a password to your account and still have your system set in place to never ask for a password when you sign in, but you must remember your password - or set up a new account just for your scheduled tasks.

  Do, or do not. There is no test.

  The only things that should be in scheduled tasks are tasks that you have planned or which were automatically to 3 rd-party applications can be installed (this is often used to implement "automatic update" for applications). *

  It is perfectly fine to have no scheduled tasks.

• Scheduled tasks

  I asked this question in a few forums and no one has yet given me a correct answer, so let me try here:

  What (if any) programs or what should I have in my "scheduled tasks"? I tried scheduling Avast it but has never worked, even with disk cleanup and a few other things. Here's what I have now:

  Apple Software Update (looks like it is running OK, but do I need?)

  Disk Cleanup: never ran

  GoogleUpdateTaskMachineCore (looks like it's OK running, but do I need?)

  GoogleUpdateTaskMachineUA (looks like it's OK running, but do I need?)

  RealUpgradeLogonTaskS-1-5-21-4191468066-1 (looks like it's OK running, but do I need?)

  RealUpgradeScheduledTaskS-1-5-21-4191468066-1 (looks like it's OK running, but do I need?)

  Any help will be greatly appreciated.

  I wouldn't have any of these items in scheduled tasks. You don't need to program Avast - he takes care of himself. If you try to schedule a scan and only have the free version, you will need to buy Avast Pro. What about disk cleanup, here is a link showing how to do a task scheduled for her:
