Password for Task Scheduler

I tried to create a task using the Task Scheduler. It kept giving me an error message. On another site, one user said to try to create a password for Windows 7. I did this and then managed to create a task. While I was using my account as an administrator, I had never created a Windows password for this computer because I am the only user and it does not matter where. It is a requirement of the Task Scheduler Windows you must have a Windows password? Or y at - it another way to create a task?

I wondered why automate a one day to a week, I now have to enter a password more than once a day.

It is strongly recommended to use a password for your user account, for security reasons. There is a way to configure tasks by using a blank password, but I wouldn't recommend it. Create a password for your user account.

> I was wondering why automate a one day to a week, I now have to enter a password more than once a day.

You can configure auto-connect to your user account to start, so that you don't have to enter the password each time. Use the following steps:

Click Start. In the search box, type control userpasswords2, and then press ENTER.  Need administrator permission if you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.

Clear the check box for users must enter a user name and password to use this computer , and then click on apply.

In automatically on journal dialog box, type your password, and then click OK.

In the dialog box user accounts, click OK.

After your computer has restarted, you will be able to log on automatically.

  • When I open Task Scheduler and click on MSE for planning, I get the following warning. General Page initializatin has no 0 x 80070534

    Original title: Task Scheduler

    When I open Task Scheduler and click on MSE for planning, I get the following warning.

    General Initializatin page failed,

    The specific error is:

    0 x 80070534: no mapping between account names and security IDS was done. Year error has occurred trying to retrieve task account informaiton. You can continue to edit the subject of the task, but will not be able to change task account information.

    I then press the ok button and it goes to the task, schedule, and the settings box.

    When I check in scheduled tasks, to see if they ran as planned, the last run time column NEVER said, and the status column indicates

    COULD NOT START.

    In the morning, I always get this error message:

    A task could not run...

    Do you know what I'm doing wrong? Can it be fixed?

    Thank you Tim

    Is there a password the user account in which the task is scheduled?  You cannot schedule a task to run under a user without password account.

    You can also take a look at advanced > view the log window scheduled tasks.

  • Can we prevent the popup Scheduler task Service at the start of the system for a scheduled task to run periodically?

    When I have any task scheduled to run periodically (for example, daily, weekly), the Task Scheduler Service dialog box always appears on the logon screen if the computer was turned off at the time of day the task should run. From my experiences, it seems as the process that determines a spot missed his scheduled time does not consider that the PC is turned off. There seems to be no way to prevent this. Even when a task is scheduled to run at the system startup and periodically, the dialog box appears when the login screen appears.

    This analysis is correct?

    I have three tasks in Task Scheduler. I didn't know anything about the task scheduler until I started having the popup. The first time I looked at Task Scheduler these three tasks have been implemented as follows.

    Adobe Flash Player Updater - Annex: every 1 hour (s) 03:05 for 24 hour (s) on every day...

    GoogleUpdateTaskMachineCore - Annex: Run when the user login

    GoogleUpdateTaskMachineUA - Annex: every 1 hour (s) 20:51 24 hour (s) on every day...

    I have no idea how or when it has been implemented in this way, but I only started to receive this dialog box by the end of 2011. Would it have happened during an Adobe Flash Player update or update of Google?

    I changed the calendar. I've now set up three tasks to run at startup of the system. The popup appears now. Is there a reason why I have to trigger these tasks once per hour?

    CSF

    You don't need these tasks scheduled at all.

    You can go to each site and look for updates when you want.

    If you have installed google something he will continue to try to catch up, and if you have installed adobe you can disable automatic updating.

  • 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.

  • 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

  • Change the time for the scheduled task, I added

    I created a schedular system file (.vbs) that supports the backup of the database of one of my application. I added this file to the scheduled task. I put the time of execution to 15:00 daily, now I want to update at the time of execution of the task sacheduled. How can I do? I use Windiws 7 Home premium.

    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.

  • Shortcut on the desktop for Task Manager, within the Task Scheduler?

    When I open the Task Scheduler, I see this...

    Task Scheduler (local)

    Event viewer tasks

    Microsoft

    Windows

    ...

    ...

    Task Manager

    I want to create a shortcut on the desktop for the entrance to the "Task Manager", in Task Scheduler. Is this possible? Keep in mind, I'm not looking for Windows CTRL + SHIFT + ESC Task Manager, I am looking for the task manager that allows me to see my scheduled tasks. Thanx.

    Instead of having to click...

    • Beginning
    • Administration tools
    • Task Scheduler

    Then, for in Task Scheduler, I develop...

    • Task Scheduler Library
    • Microsoft
    • Windows

    So I can finally, click on the Task Manager and see the tasks planned it.

    My goal is to have a shortcut on the desktop (or any other method) which will allow a 'reduced click' access for the final result to view the scheduled tasks mentioned above. Thanx.

  • IOM - how set up a notification for ANY scheduled task got error/failure

    Hello

    Can we in place a notification for ANY task scheduled (generally) in which case it fails?
    I know that we can develop a custom on-demand task and then send a notification through Java code but I think on the analysis of the aspects, I mean, if a scheduled task that must be completed successfully had a mistake, IOM admin may be notified to work on the incident.

    Concerning

    Things as ClassNotFound would cause errors, but all the tasks planned, that I have the code, I handle all exceptions appropriately.

  • Task update password for form OID process

    Hi all

    When I change the password to the IOM, it isn't getting updated in OID.

    We have not used this feature before, but now we have some applications to authenticate through OID.

    I have the required task in the form of the DIO process, but for some reason any that it does not work.

    Can someone suggest the process to get it working

    Thank you
    M

    1. you change the password for the profile of the IOM and save the user form
    2 IOM then checks a report looking for Lookup.USR_PROCESS_TRIGGERS for a task name that is mapped to the password field - typically "Change User Password"
    3. then in the process related to the resource (supply), it has a task that has exactly the same name, ' * change user password * ', and this task takes just the value of the user's data and then assigns the field password in the form of courses
    4. then when the form of courses is updated that triggers a process task to update the password for this account with the resources - often named something like "update password"
    5. then 'update password' has the logic to do everything it takes to make the resource

  • Task Scheduler in Windows Server 2008 Enterprise Edition

    We have Windows Server 2008 Enterprise Edition by using the Task Scheduler to run 4 tasks on a daily basis. Recently, we have applied the Microsoft updates and restarted the server, and now the scheduled tasks do not work with the field. It says logon failure: unknown username and password incorrect (0x8007052E). The domain administrator credentials (or domain administrator credentials), we applied initially used but it still does not work, but it works with the local administrator account. A new task was created by using the credentials of the domain and the task could not start showing the username and password wrong. I studied unsuccessfully Microsoft Knowledge base. Please advise on how we solve this problem?

    For assistance, please ask for help in the Forums Microsoft TechNet for Windows Server.
