Scheduled task entry

• 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".

  [* 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.

• Adobe Reader update scheduled task? Is this Normal?

  Hello, I started my computer today and as I usually do, I checked my startup items. Adobe Reader and Acrobat Update Manager has been removed from the list. I was confused and after the reboot to see if that fixes it, checked again. Went again. The research, apparently a "Adobe Refresh Manager" with the number of version 1.8.0 has been installed or something. Or at least configured. Check with CCleaner, I looked up from the Startup tab... the Windows tab remained empty from the entrance of Adobe. However check the section of the scheduled task, I found an entry for the update here for some reason any.

  Is this a new feature? Did update the Updater itself and grown from a startup to a scheduled task item? I'm a little worried that something is wrong with my computer. For the record, my Adobe Acrobat had already updated December 9 11.0.10.
  Is this normal now?

  I am running Windows 8.1 32 bit btw.

  Yes, Acrobat and Reader Updater automatically updates itself with the latest version. There is nothing to worry about. Moving to the Scheduler of tasks done checks more predictable updates. Remove the Run key launch improves the system startup. You can probably find other updaters as well in the Task Scheduler, such as Google, Windows itself, Adobe Flash, etc...

• 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.

• 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.

• 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 '. "

  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.

  Hi Bill,

  1. what exactly happens when you run the backup program?

  If a scheduled task does not run when you expect it, right-click the task, and then click Properties. On the Task tab, make sure that the enabled check box is selected. On the tab schedule, check that planning is set correctly.

• 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.
