Task Scheduler loses credentials after reboot

I have intalled Vista Basic and I have two scheduled tasks that run each night.  I chose properties to allow tasks to be performed weather a user is logged on or not.  After the establishment of the task and entering the appropriate information, the task will run successfully until the computer is restarted.  When the machine restarts, it loses the credentials.  I have to re-enter the password and the things until the next reboot.

The task will run with administrator priviliages and it must have a password.  That last one is 99% of the time recorded in the system is simply a user with limited access to resources.

How can I get Windows to remember the password after a reboot?  I created a separate just account to perform tasks and it always fails.  I thought about allowing the normal user account tasks but I don't want to give the privileges to perform a task that porbably right will fail when a reboot is happening anyway.

I searched the internet and this seems to be a regular with no official word from Microsoft occurrence, if it is a 'function' or a 'bug '.

Have a task scheduler that cannot hold passwords after a restart seems a bit pointless.  I wouldn't have to buy another program just to run tasks when Windows Vista has a superior program integrated in the operating system.

Did somebody solve this problem?  Autour or get Vista work in fact save the password after a reboot.

  • Task Scheduler stopped working after Windows updates

    Unfortunately, the only way to know which is the update of the problem is to install them one by one, until you find the 'wrong' for your installation.

    You can do a system restore to get back until it has been installed (which is NOT the best way to remove an update) or follow this method:

  • Task Scheduler tasks do not work after a reboot

    In windows 7 I used to have the error that other people get to the Task Scheduler that the task no longer exists. In any case, I have no more errors since the question based on advice on this forum to delete each task which does not exist in the Task Manager, but exists in the attachment folder. If the error that the task no longer exists does not.

    The problem is now task will run once, after that reboot a pc they rerun the habit. He said that the task is scheduled to run at 08:00 on Wednesdays of each week. But after that I restarted my pc it does not work yet. The next section begins to show nothing then.

    The task in services.msc schedule is set to automatic. I should also mention that the service does not seem to me to change if its auto, manual, other services. I believe that I am the admin, I am the only user of this computer, no accounts are put in place, its just me, and I never had problems with the admin.

    Forecasts of the tasks are not that difficult, after I corrected the error, I hoped that would be the end, but no, forecasts of the tasks still does not work, something so fundamental should not cause many headaches.

    Well looks like I found my answer, microsoft does not task scheduler does not work after restarting.

    Here is the original thread, I made mentioned, dealing with my first issue with Task Scheduler showing an error indicating that the tasks no longer exist. This thread has solved the problem that I no longer receive the error that the task no longer exists, but close to the last post on the thread below, someone explains the problem that I have now with the pc, not to remember to perform next time.

    The job runs as soon as I start the database. This creates problems.

  • My "Task Scheduler" will not display the running tasks since the update to Firefox yesterday.

    When I use my task scheduler and select "Display all running tasks", I get "unavailable". The task successfully registered last history was immediately before moving to Firefox 23. What you've done!

    I uninstalled Firefox and installed after a reboot, and now everything works again with 23 installed Firefox. The real shame is that most users don't even know enough to even check their planner of tasks or the event viewer for the problems.

  • How to get operational Task Scheduler?

    Service Task Scheduler doesn't have to launch tasks triggered by starting the computer. Additional data: error value: 2147942402. User action: restart the Task Scheduler service.  (Event ID 412)

    The advice given appear to be invalid, since the Scheduler service has all it's controls in gray.  The service does not appear to be active.

    I'm not abe to say from the message that it is.  This means a particular scheduled task failed?

    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.

  • Can not see my own account after reboot

    After reboot I can only see the original user on my Mac + comments, but not the one I added.

    The original is my wife so if it connects inn, first of all, I'm able to move my user by logging out (users obtained all visible) or by selecting my self in the menu to the left of the projector users.

    Upgrade to 10.11.4 to see if there was a problem with 10.11.3 who was present when the account is added.

    It's annoying to sort of not finding your own account and I wonder what's wrong.

    Anyone with an idea?

    Hello dusanofrode,

    Thank you for contributing to the communities of Apple Support.

    If you cannot connect to the original account on your MacBook Pro, looks that FileVault has been activated. It encrypts the bootable floppy and requires that the original to "unlock" before user other users can subscribe in their user accounts. I can see how that might be irritating in the circumstances, and I have a few suggestions to check the situation and helps connect you to your account a little more quickly.

    To see if FileVault is turned on, connect to the user account of your wife and choose the Apple menu > System Preferences, click on Privacy & Security, and then click FileVault. You can find more information about FileVault in Use FileVault to encrypt on your Mac startup disk.

    If FileVault is turned on, you have two possibilities to be able to connect to your user account to start.

    • "Activate" your user account to connect to start up the Mac. You can do it in the preferences of FileVault (located under Security and confidentiality in system preferences):

    Allow users

    Click to enable users to log on at startup and unlock the encrypted information on the Mac. Users who are not enabled need an administrator to log on before you can use the Mac.

    Of OS X El Capitan: FileVault pane of security & privacy preferences

    • Turn off FileVault:

    When you turn off FileVault, the encryption is disabled and the contents of your Mac is decrypted. Decryption may take some time, depending on the amount of stored information. However, you can still use your Mac to perform other tasks while the information is that is decrypted.

    1. Choose the Apple menu > System Preferences, click on Privacy & Security, and then click FileVault.

    2. Click on the lock icon to unlock, then enter an administrator name and password.

    3. Click on turn off FileVault.
