Scheduler task does SyncToy as expected but Will Run On Demand

Vista Home Premium (32 bit), SnycToy 2.1

I tried to implement a daily local sync automated using the Task Scheduler and SyncToy.  I put in place a task in Task Scheduler task instructions of SyncToy.  I am using the command line option (..) (SyncToyCmd.exe option' - R) for all pairs of batch record.  I can run the synchronization to the application successfully, but the scheduled synchronization does not work.

  • The task is enabled.
  • I delivering the option 'run with highest privileges '.
  • There is no set of conditions
  • I am the only user on this computer and I am the administrator.  The computer has a password.

As time passes, the "next time" recovering the next day, but the Sync does not work and there is no error generated.  It appears as if he had run, but cmd window doesn't pop up (as it does when running on-demand) and files are not synchronized.  Nothing happens.

A test, I chose to program using the... SyncToy.exe file (without the - R) argument and the Scheduler will be launching the program successfully, but of course, is not sync.

Any ideas why Task Scheduler is not running the... SyncToyCmd.exe as expected?  Any help would be appreciated.

Thank you!

  • Scheduled task does not start unless I am connected

    When I schedule a task, it will run if I am connected, but if I am offline scheduler pointed out that I could not start the task.  How can I solve the problem?

    Thank you!

    I finally found out what was the problem; the program I want to run resides on a network drive, I had mapped to a network drive to the location of the file, the name of the file the task scheduler has tried to run included the mapped network drive.  When I put the absolute path to the file to execute, it worked as expected.  I discovered the problem by looking at the Task Scheduler Log, indicating that the file is not found.  The program that the Task Scheduler runs consulted files sent with the mapped network drive and it works as expected, but for some reason that task scheduler failed to start the program by using the mapped network drive.

    I want to thank each of you for your help to solve this problem.

    Thank you

  • Scheduled task does not play if already open WMP, trying to avoid manual close

    I'm in a work centre that will make announcements every day on a speaker system that is run by windows media player. I set up a scheduled task to all files that will play, but once the said file is played WMP does not close automatically. This does not seem like a problem, but if nobody closes on WMP, the next scheduled task will not - play which completely defeated the purpose to automate the process and our workers will have to still remember to close WMP 3 or 4 times a day, otherwise nobody gets the announcement.

    I have tried implementing a command line with /play wmplayer start/close c:myfile.wav as an executable file and run it with the Task Scheduler instead of the wav file... it did not work. Namely, the /close function was abandoned with WMP.

    Is it possible that I can continue to use WMP and completely automate this process without the manual close WMP after each scheduled task?

    Hello, I walked with this problem. I created a basic task using the Task Scheduler, and I noticed if the program you want the task to run, it's the path contains white space, it will not work.

    Does anyone know how to solve?

  • 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.

    Task of 0500

    Task of 0600

    0630 task

    You can address the issue in two steps:

    Compare task definitions 1

    1.1 use the export feature on the right side of the window Scheduler of tasks to export each of the task definitions.

    1.2 each of the definitions of exported tasks will be an xml file, each of them [they open in IE] open then select all text & paste it in Excel, with only one task in the first column, the next task in the next column,... until you have them all.

    1.3 using Excel, simply because it's a convenient way to see tasks-by-side, look at each line to see what the differences are there between them other than the time set for them.

    1.4 use the results to eliminate all unwanted differences that exist.

  • Scheduled task does not exist, yet still short

    Some time ago I implemented a simple batch file as a task scheduled to run at 07:00 every day, and he does so since then.  It starts DTExec.exe to do a load of data and send me an email when it is successful.

    Now I want to change the run time - but I can't find work anywhere!  I do not see it in Task Scheduler (and yes I putShow hidden tasks ), the task name appears nowhere in \Windows\Tasks or \Windows\System32\Tasks

    No schedule in such a way does seem to exist - yet the task always runs daily so there must be somewhere!  If not, where can I get?

    (It's on Windows 7 Home Premium, and my account does not have administrator rights. The task of the TA is configured to use the system account.)

    More info: looking at the logs with Event Viewer, I see in the application log an entry at 07:00:22 to SQLISPackage100 that says that my task is completed then.

    But the newspaper Windows/TaskScheduler operational, there is no event at 7:00!  There is something to 06:52 then the following entry is RacTask starting at 07:14:16

    Is there something in windows that can perform tasks of the user to fire time OTHER than Task Scheduler?  Maybe I'm looking at the bad service?
    Ah - that's all!  Opened by SQL Agent jobs do not appear in the list of Task Scheduler (and I had forgotten that I would be implemented in this way).

    Hello

    Do a search on Google, I found some topics related to the 1st error, perhaps caused by Task Scheduler lose credentials on a reboot of the system. But the second is fooling me. Help?

  • A scheduled task shows she completed successfully, but it really didn't. How can I fix?

    The task that I put in place runs the following image:

    The task runs a script file SQL for the database on drive E:\ which is an external drive for backup.

    When E:\ is not present, of course, the task is not ended, but the Scheduler of tasks that are still actions successfully completed.

    I'm assuming that the Task Scheduler is just by saying "I've been able to run the script with the specified program file, then it has succeeded," but this is really not what I'm after. I need to know if the tasks in the script that is running the Scheduler of tasks actually performed.

    Is there something I can do to report if the task succeeded or not, so that the Task Scheduler shows correctly?

    I know that this is possible if you use a batch file that uses the exit codes (I'm sure that other types of scripts have end codes, but I'm not familiar with most of the other types of scripts).

    You can check with the developers/scripting Microsoft Developer Network forums.  These MSDN forums are intended more to this, while this community is more concentrated consumer.

  • Firefox does not display videos, but will be Chrome/IE.

    It's all in the title really. FF does not appear videos. In Youtube, the screen is black, apart from the red button 'play' in the middle. When I click on play it says "an error has occurred." In all the other video sites, video section is empty, white. I have uninstalled/reinstalled Firefox and Adobe Flash Player. Firefox is also fully updated.

    Hey mick3690, this is probably due to the recent update of the plugin to version 11.3 adobe flash. It has caused similar problems for many other users (chrome & IE get provided with a different version of the plugin by adobe).

    You can try to remove flash 11.3 of the section of the configuration/program windows downgrade to an earlier version & Control Panel, until adobe fixes these problems.

    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.
