Running script powershell Task Scheduler

I want to run a powershell script every morning at the events vi information script so I can check for issues.  How can I run and call the vm environment?

I tried running just powershell.exe getvievents.ps1 but it doesn't have the vmware cmds.

Appreciate any help.

    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.

  • Why my batch file does not run properly in Task Scheduler

    My .bat files do not work with Task Scheduler.

    For testing purposes, I created a very simple, one line .bat file:

    ECHO this is a test. > TestFile.txt

    If I run this file by double-clicking it, it works correctly and created a text with a single line of text document.

    But if I create a task to run this file, the text file is NOT created.  For the task history log, said that the task was started and completed successfully but no text file is created.

    Any thoughts?  Thank you.

    Thanks for the suggestion, but I solved my problem.

    It turns out that you can't use the full path to the .bat file in "Program/script" field of the Scheduler of tasks but rather than actual .bat file name, then the rest of the way in the field "start in".

  • How to run scripts powershell to Orchestrator

    Hello

    is it possible to run powershell Orchestrator-workflow scripts?

    I got it only work with a powershell ssh server on another system (http://www.powershellinside.com/powershell/ssh/)

    and Executive a ssh command inside the workflow.

    Kind regards

    Joerg

    This can be done in the 4.0 update release 2 (which was released on June 10, 2010).

    To do this, you will first need to modify the configuration of server vCO since issuing an operating system command is prohibited by default for security reasons.  Please keep in mind that everything you do here are run with the credentials of the user running the process of vCO (default localSystem).

    1. the file to edit is vmo.properties under the application-server/server/vmo/conf directory.

    Add a line to the bottom

    com VMware.js.allow - local-process = true

    and save the config file.

    The details of how to proceed is in the guide of the administrator under "Definition of system properties"-> "JavaScript access to the operating system commands Set.

    2. create a new workflow and paste the following line in a box "that contains a script task.

    command = new command ("cmd /c copy c:
    Orchestrator
    c: test.txt
    Orchestrator
    test1.txt');

    command = new command ("powershell.exe - order copy c:")
    Orchestrator
    c: test.txt
    Orchestrator
    test2.txt");

    Command.Execute (true);

    3. Optional: If you want to have access to another part of the file system, please take a look at the "Set Server file system Access to the Workflows and JavaScript" section in the Administrator's Guide. The configuration file referenced in the guide is not there by default, so you have to create it.

    Please keep in mind that which allows commands to be run on a server with a workflow has some security implications.  Running PowerShell this way also means that:

    -you are limited to running the PowerShell script without the ability to interact with your script to halfway through the script

    -You can build the string to start the PowerShell script (like providing a virtual machine with VM.name), but the output of the PowerShell script would have to write to a file that you can then open and read with another stream of work (or action).

    I hope this helps.

  • Run a python script using Task Scheduler

    I searched on google for an answer to how to proceed, and none of the solutions have worked. I use windows 7 and python 3.7. I would like a simple explanation of what to type in the 3 spaces in the action of the task properties tab. Other solutions usually take forever to run, throwing up an error message and tell me that the task was successful, but I can say that the script never started.

    You now know how to use the program to invoke a script. Maybe as follows:

    1. Open a Console with cmd.exe.

  • Windows 7 task scheduler - run if user logged in or not (DOES NOT WORK)

    I have an exe thread created in visual studio 2013 requiring a run setting. I want to run at 14:00 on every day when user connected power by the windows Task Scheduler. I followed the steps to plan an exe to run through the Task Scheduler windows below.

    Step 1: Created new task with the name "Billing Update", and I put it with option shown below run if user logged in or not.

    Step 2: Configure option trigger run exe on all day at 14:00.

    Step 3: Configure Action tab to select Billing.exe with arguments 2015.

    Step 4: I clicked the ok button, he asked me the username, password to run the exe if you know if the user is logged in or not. I did put with appropriate credentials and hit ok.

    When I connected to execution of the program, he has not worked.

    I checked with the conditions below to run the program.

    1. I ran the program with the Option start-> run only when the user logged on. (Output result program worked)

    2. I ran the Notepad.exe program with Option-> Run or not connected user parameter. (Output-no result has no program)

    2. I checked for required securities to assign users, and General groups-> change user or groups for this I gave full access to the D:\Billing.exe program using security (output-no result has no program).

    I googled out for the possible solution, but does not have a suitable, why Scheduler tasks done done do not run the program when I put the setting "Run if user logged in or not." Please advise me for the same thing with the detailed solution.

    When you select "Run if user logged in or not ', then the task runs as a background process. He won't let users interact with it. You can tell by scheduling notepad.exe. After that task scheduler called notepad.exe you can see using tasklist.exe or by looking at the Task Manager.

    I run an ssis job that works fine locally on the server application, but when the runs along a task scheduler it receives variable not found even if the variable is defined at the level of the system. SSIS package relationship parent/child and must pass the variable that has a value of the location of the configuration file.

    Hello

    You can try to create a file Windows backup_db.bat like this:

    set ORACLE_HOME = C:\oracle\ora10
    Set ORACLE_SID = MYSID
    RMAN target / cmdfile=C:\oracle\admin\MYDB\scripts\backup_db.sql log=C:\oracle\admin\MYDB\logs\backup_db.log

    Then, backup_db.sql is as follows:

    bootable media;
    backup database more entered archivelog delete;
    delete noprompt obsolete;
    ALTER database open;

    Then set up a position of Task Scheduler to run your backup_db.bat at the requested time.

    You will need to make sure that %ORACLE_HOME%\bin is included in the path of the account that will own the script.

  • can not defragment, task scheduler not started, but it's

    Running Windows 7 Home Premium. When I try to run Defrag, I get the message that it will not run because the Task Scheduler service is not started. When I check the Task Scheduler service, that it IS running and the game runs automatically. What should I do to solve it?

    Jim T

    I solved the problem by going to Tools\Defragment Administrative and optimize readers. I could then manually run Defrag and also restore the defragmentation task that was missing in Task Scheduler. Everything is OK now. Thank you for your return to me.

  • Pass parameters to the Java class constructor in the Task Scheduler

    Hi all

    I wrote a Java (MySechudler) class that extends from 'SchedulerBaseTask '. This class is configured to run in "IOM-Task Scheduler", and within this class, I update the table in a database.
    The connection string to the database is considered to be a parameter to the constructor of the class 'MySechudler '.

    If I hard code the connection string and use a default constructor, it works well, but if I use a parameterized constructor, and try to pass the attribute, it will give an exception. I am doing wrong?

    If someone can tell me, how can I pass the value to my class of Java through "IOM Task Scheduler?

    HERE
    Thirlk

    private String getAttributeWithDefaultValue (String s, String s1) {}
    String s2 = getAttribute (s);
    If (s2 == null: s2.equals("")) {}
    return of s1;
    } else {}
    return s2;
    }
    }

    public void init() {}
    dataProvider = getDataBase();
    String uid = getAttributeWithDefaultValue("Attribute_Name",_"").trim();

  • Planning and running my script powershell crashed Windows 7

    Hi all

    I created a powershell script that works perfectly when I run it using powershell. Just, it reads XML files and email some information on their part. But as soon as I have this schedule using the Windows Task Scheduler and run it, it blocks the windows. First of all, trying to open the Task Scheduler, after planning script, it give error, the Task Scheduler service is not available. Then I rebooted my system, and windows starts in recovery mode. I even tried windows recovery to a point recorded earlier, but also, that did not help. My BUSINESS team had to redeploy full Windows 7 on my system. I already tried this on two different systems, both with Windows 7 Professional and it crashes in the same way.

    Please help me understand what I am doing wrong.

    I don't know how to download my forum script, please let me know if any of you wish to have a look, and I'll send my code.

  • problem with tasks scheduled on W2008 (physical) servers. We run W2008 R2 Standard.

    We have a task that runs a .bat file that takes backups offline to a database for a product of part 3.  Run us it everyday (except Sunday) so we have the setting of relaxation as weekly and mark all days except Sunday and run them at specified times (or it is our intention);

    .Bat file commands have been verified as correct by the 3rd party software vendor.

    If you run manually scheduled task (that is to say do a right click and run) it works and does what we want it to do.

    What we cannot operate constantly, it runs on a timed schedule. It works at the time and the first time, as it did successfully, the action subsequent times it works at the agreed time but shutsdown almost immediately after, it seems, made the first order in the .bat file that the database has been extinguished.

    We noticed that when it is not what we want, he said that he has successfully completed, but the status is not (0 x 1) (0x0), but we are unable to find clues in the history of task as to why.

    We tried two ways to call the .bat file:

    1. directly by briowsing in the file in the Actions tab field program/Script and then by filling in the path in the start menu in the field

    2. in referring to the cmd.exe file in the C:\Windows\System32 folder, and then put the following command in the \D:[path/c to the file beats] in the field add Arguments

    both behave the same way. Its very relative because this task is a task of office off and so impossible to manually run operationally, it must work outside office hours.

    We had this task that runs in W2003 years and we are trying to move to W2008 as part of a program to upgrade.

    Someone encountered this or know how to diagnose why its happening? We would really appreciate help.
