• Strange problems with scheduled tasks

  Hello Microsoft community.

  I have a domain with many servers (windows Server 2003), and there is a database of oracle on one of them. I usually use a batch file to back up the oracle database, and I'm sure that this lot works perfectly.
  So I logged on the server that contains the oracle database and create a new weekly scheduled task to back up my database, and the timing worked well in the first day.
  The next day, I logged on the server to make sure that the backup works, but I found a sentence (cannot start) under the status column and (0x1) under the column last result.
  I tried to delete the task and create it again, but nothing has changed.
  I used both domain administrator account and the Local Administrator account, but nothing has changed.
  I tried to check the task when I connect and disconnect, but nothing has changed.

  The accounts that I used to create the task have the full control permissions on the source folder that contains the batch files so the destination folder that contains the backup files.
  The Task Scheduler service is set to automatic type and its status is started.
  Whenever I double click the backup batch file works fine, but the task still does that for a time.

  What should I do?

  Kind regards.

• Command to close Firefox or Thunderbird with scheduled tasks?

  I would like to automate file Firefox (Thunderbird). Output of command at a specific time without forcing a shutdown/reboot of Windows. The goal is to ensure that they are not active during my automated nightly backup.

  Is there a command line - setting or other trick/tool can be used for this function?

  This could be a stackoverflow question or another developer network:

• 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.

  I need YOUR voice and the points for helpful answers and propose responses. I'm saving for a pony!

• WIN8 scheduled task does not work with spaces in the path of the program

  Does anyone know how to solve?

• Clone a virtual machine / move to folder / delete VM / as a Powershell Script as a scheduled task ends with "ongoing"

  Hi all,.

  I would kindly ask your help with a script that needs to run as a scheduled task. It is functional, but does not correct and little need for love at the end...

  I want to create a script that

  • find a virtual machine with a pattern on its behalf (realized and works)
  • delete a virtual machine with a reason given in his name (completed works)
  • create a clone of a virtual machine (completed works)
  • move that created clone (upstairs) and move it to a folder named (open)
    or the fact in the clone process

  The script itself runs so far and does what it should, but the scheduled task is always "in process of execution". Now, I created a work around in this way, I have finished the task after two hours of running; but there must be a better solution that works properly.
  As well as the part with the rise of the virtual machine.

  Could you maybe help me or have a good idea how to solve this problem?

  Thanks in advance

• Running Powershell script with ESXCLI commands via a scheduled task in Windows 2012 does not work.

  I'm trying to run a powershell script of a scheduled task in Windows 2012. The script calls the commands ESXCLI and ends with success (exporting to a CSV file) but the file has no data inside.  If I run the script manually without the scheduled task file has all the I expect to exit.

  I wonder if there is a framework with Powershell or a PSSnapin I need to add to the script for it to run via a scheduled task.  Has anyone done this before with the ESXCLI commands?

  panhvr - you may to something.  The process account that I use to run this script has only read-only access in vCenter.  I logged on the server I am running these reports with the process ID and tried to run the script.  He gave me errors indicating permission to perform the operations of esxcli was denied.

  I think we found the culprit!  I'll have this process ID in vCenter rights upward.

  Thank you all!

• Problem with Powershell Healthcheck script when run as a scheduled task

  Hello-

  We have completed the extremely useful VMWare Healthcheck script posted here http://communities.VMware.com/docs/doc-7430 .  A problem puzzling that we had is that

  When the script runs as a scheduled task (alerted by a batch file) the recipient will receive an email with the report attached, however the content of the report is more or less empty.

  When we run this command even file manually, we sent the report and it is completely filled.   I understand this seems completely illogical, but could someone help to understand why this is happening?

  Thank you very much.

• Task Scheduler task shows as completed successfully, but nothing happened

  I have some .bat files I created added to my task scheduler on our server at the fire every day from 05:00.  Tasks run a series of SQL commands and a find and replace the application third for updating a MySQL database that we use for a web application.  SQL event on demand are not an option for us.

  When I run the task manually it works fine (I'm an administrator has full permissions), either by double-clicking the .bat file, either by selecting the task in the Task Scheduler task by clicking on 'run '.

  Tasks have been reportedly shot every day for more than a week and all history journals say the operation completed successfully, but when I check the MySQL database, that nothing has actually happened.

  To add to the confusion, what is happening on 2 3 .bat files that I wrote.  One works perfectly, not.

  I have the defined task to "Run if the user is logged in or not", and "Run with the highest privileges" and our server, Windows 2012 R2.

  My apologies if I'm missing something obvious, I am a JavaScript/PHP web developer, who was lifted in the server environment and, although most of this is logical on a base level for me, a lot of nuances are lost.

  Thanks in advance for any help.

• manages scheduled tasks has stopped working and was closed

  Lately I get this error message often when I start using my Vista PC (Vista Business SP2) in the morning: "manages scheduled tasks has stopped working and was closed".

  And this morning the automatic update of Windows Defender definitions also could not install (so I would be dnld and installed).  Set to automatic update referred to 'unknown error' (8 and 57, I think).

  FYI, sfc/scannow reported no integrity violoations with system files.  I also reconfigured my PC there is to make sure that it is clean, fresh and perfectly up-to-date before reinstalling all my apps, and it's been updated for about 2 months then.

  How this application problem "manages scheduled tasks" can be fixed?  If you don't know, where can I get an answer?  Neither Google nor Bing seem to show any reference to the exact phrase "" manages scheduled tasks has stopped working stopped working '. "

  Craig in New Jersey

  Update 7/22: I'm starting to suspect a problem of interactions between turn off Vista and [printer] HP Digital Imaging Monitor.  I tried to disable it via msconfig, a couple of days and have not seen the mistakes regularly ever since, but the jury is still pending for another week or two.   I'll report after awhile.

  It is too early to point a finger because we know that all of them have well worked normally in the past and they seem equally at risk of corruption.  For example, I have no these errors when you use the same software HP on my Win7 PC and I don't have these errors for a few months after that the reconstruction of my Vista laptop, so I'm suspecting some piece of software has become corrupted (something in Vista), or something the tracking software program, some windows or component or registry setting software execution to one who relies on the HP printer.

• 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?
