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

• VBScript does not run in the Windows 7 Task Scheduler 'execute if user connected or not' is checked.

• Task Scheduler: run as the user who just logged?

  I'm trying to implement a task in Vista Task Scheduler, and I want a task to run after a user connects (easy enough) and run as one coming from connect - that is to say use the user account of the person who just logged on, not a specific predefined user account.

  Can I do this?
  I want to do this is because I want to send a notification that "user X comes to connect."  I'm trying to get the information of the user for example 'whoami' or username, but if the task is scheduled to be executed by using a predefined user account, then you get just the username of this user account preset, not the user name of the user who just logged.
  Any ideas?
  Thank you.

  Hi drmrbrewer,.

  For your information; It is not possible to schedule a task to send a notification on the connection to the account through Windows Task Scheduler.

• Installed Windows &amp; 32 Bit drivers and USB ports don't DO NOT WORK.

  I bugh a laptop HP Pavillion 14 TS who came to preinstall Windows 8.1 64-bit I hate so wiped the drives and installed Windows 7 32 bit and now I have a big problem.  None of my network drivers work and 2 uSB ports where I plug in my mouse and other devices of SB to do more work.

  I did a back up of the established SW leader who has all the HP dvers for my laptop but will not install the network and video of divers. And when I try to install the drives, I get the error message saying that they are not compatible with this version of Windows.

  I loked on the HP site under my model of laptop that s as above, but HP don't do my notebook drivers for Windows 7 32. And I looked on both the Realteck site for network wireless Realteck and Ethernet Realteck drivers but none of them work or install on my OS. Intel video drivers do not work either. So I'm really stuck one I can not return to 8.1 Windows as if that 32-bit Windows 7 works on my laptop but most of my drivers is not compatible with the operating system and I don't want not to install 64-bit Windows, I like 32-bit.

  Drivers that do not work on Windows 7 32-bit are:

  Realteck RTL8188EE 802 - 11 b/gn witeless lan

  Die Ethernet Realteck and

  Intel High definition graphics driver

  That don't work at all under Windows 7 32 bit because they are the only 64-bit drivers.

  So can you please post me a link network bth and drvers of graphics from Intel that works with my laptop. I tried many different drivers Realteck and raphics for Windows 7, but none of them DOES not work on my system. And none of my USB ports are no longer works. So, how can I fix this?

  Hello:

  Should be no problem to get W7 32 bit to work on this model.

  Just use all the drivers and software from the HP Probook 450 G0 on your model, except the Audio, BIOS and firmware files.

  Your model uses only the Intel HD graphics driver.

  The first pilot, you need to install the Intel chipset installation utility and reboot.

• I do not know my windows XP has some missing components that some applications do not work.

  I do not know my windows XP has some missing components that some applications do not work.

  "SFC 3498 records" is something that the technical support engineers who are hired by Microsoft should download so that they can learn how sfc/scannow actually works rather than send people on wild goose prosecutions that will not work.

  Looks like you just download the first file in the list of files on my SkyDrive - look down the list for the sfcfiles.dll and download it.

  To fix your immediate problem, you need to download:

  Sfcfiles.dll

  And put it in the designated folders.

  If this file is missing, it is probably being quarantined (actually deleted) by your unspecified antivirus/antimalware software.

  If this is the case, AV software you are using is distressed and he can just delete it again.

• Task Scheduler ' run as ' GUI app not working not

  Hi, I'm on Windows 7 Pro with all the updates.

  I have a Windows Forms program that must be run from my nonadministrator user - a member of the unchanged 'users' group that is part of any installation of Windows.  Call the AUSER.   The program will run out of AUSER start-up and ' run as ' admin.  It works very well I put in place a shortcut to do.  Of course, he asks AUSER of identification admin each time.  Also can not have ' run as ' shortcuts in the startup folder.

  I read Scheduler of tasks would be a good solution for this - that he could "run as" the program the connection and require administrator credentials only when admin defines the task, but not later.   This is apparently NOT the case on my system, and I would like to know why.

  Just to remove any doubt that my program itself has problems, I tried scheduling NotePad.exe:

  I've implemented the task like this:
  Name: Test of Notepad
  When running the task uses the following user account: admin
  Run only when the user is connected.
  Run with the highest privileges. (checked)
  Trigger: when AUSER connecting
  Action: Start a program: C:\Windows\Notepad.exe (with a valid
  beginning of specified directory).
  Everything else the default value.

  The problem is that if I 'if the user is logged on or not' he don't get no interface graphic (like MS documented), but I need the GUI to control the program.  If I appear the task of AUSER Manager and tell him to report all processes (and provide identification information), I can see Notepad missing here - without head, running as an administrator, with not a GUI and no way (AFAIK) to join him.

  If I 'run only when the user logs' task never fires because mine is a single-user system, I'm either logged in as administrator or AUSER but not both.  (And even if I was in a multiuser system, the admin is not permanently connected, it is?)

  If I set the user ' run as ' AUSER my GUI program appears but throws an exception when it reaches the methods that require elevated privileges.  (Apparently the 'run with highest privileges"does not have more privileges AUSER, it elevates them just if AUSER is already allowed privileges in the first place.)

  I've seen several posts on .NET reports of success with this approach, but now I suspect that their "AUSER" is part of the admin and users group.  I can't have and maintain a good warranty.

  So is there anything else I could try?  And why no GUI by pressing "If the user is connected or not?"

  Thank you

  Tom

  I've seen several posts on .NET reports of success with this approach, but now I suspect that their "AUSER" is part of the admin and users group.  I can't have and maintain a good warranty.

  Sorry, you can't have a standard user account tasks to the highest privilege. As far as I KNOW, the task running with the highest privileges only works if the account used for the scheduled task is a member of the Administrators group. The solution might be to run the background job, create a journal, and then report the results in a separate to the foreground process.

• Windows xp Task Scheduler service does not start

  I have a problem with the Task Scheduler in XP SP3 (home edition) service. The service is configured to start automatically, but hangs during startup and the State is 'starting' permanently In this State, I can't start or stop the service manually.  If I disabled the service completely, restart, put it to manual and click Start, I get the following error:

  Unable to start the task on the local computer Scheduler service
  Error 1053: The service did not demand launch or control in a timely

  I am under an administrator with a password account, so that shouldn't be the problem
  The CPP and the services event log work correctly (Autostart value)

  I need to get this service running in order to allow the read-ahead on this pc. Currently the prefetch folder is totally empty the .ini file is missing as well as all the .pf files. I tried to rebuild the .ini with the help of the > rundll32.exe advapi32.dll, ProcessIdleTasks< command="" at="" the="" command="" prompt="" but="" this="" doesn't="" do="" anything,="" probably="" because="" of="" the="" lack="" of="" the="" scheduler="" service.="" in="" the="" registry,="" enable="" prefetcher="" is="" set="" to="" 3,="" monitoring="" both="" applications="" and="">

  Scheduler tasks and prefetch worked very well - I think that a setting in the registry is damaged or missing. Any suggestions on how to fix this? Thanks in advance.

  It's curious.  The ST journal file must be in the Windows folder.

  I downloaded a copy of the file you need on my SkyDrive (everyone has a SkyDrive for file sharing).

  Here is the link to my SkyDrive and you can get the file you need here:

  http://CID-6a7e789cab1d6f39.SkyDrive.live.com/redir.aspx?RESID=6A7E789CAB1D6F39! 311
  When you see the files available for download, you will not see the extension of file (.exe, .dll, .cpl, .sys, etc), but when download you them they will have the right extension.

  You have to put the downloaded files in the correct folders on your system.

  I don't know where to put the file mstask.ini - windows\system32 maybe?  There is no .ini file in the folder inf. so I don't know and you may need to try different places and keep reading...

  I don't think I've never reinstalled TS (but other things) so I did all the instructions on how to do it, but if the installation stops and asks you for a file, at this point, leave the installation 'wait' and then search your HARD drive for the file he wants to (be sure to include the search for hidden and system files too) and if/when you find return to the installation of waiting and fill the void or navigate to the folder where the installation file is enough (point installation where the file is, so it can find the file he wants to) and continue up to the next point.  You may need to do it for multiple files until you get all the way through it and you will see that some are just not on your HARD drive and you need to download.  You can't cancel the installation and start over every time - just work through a single file at a time by pointing the installation to the folder where the file he needs.

  Maybe later, I reinstall my TS service to practice and be able to understand the files he needs and give some better advice about this.

  Comodo may also interfere (I do not use it, but it's possible).  Did you see if your TS will start with disabled Comodo?

  You should also consider the malware, then you might want to start with this:

  Download, install, update and do a full scan with these free malware detection programs:
  Malwarebytes (MMFA): http://malwarebytes.org/
  SUPERAntiSpyware: (SAS): http://www.superantispyware.com/
  They can be uninstalled later if you wish.

• Windows 7 Task Scheduler is not wake the portable computer at the scheduled time

  Instead of stopping my laptop, I put it to sleep at night. Later, the laptop is expected to execute the sequence of tasks scheduled in my windows-7:

  1. 04:00, run a task "A". To perform this task, the laptop awakens from his sleep because "task" was to "wake the computer to run this task" activated.
  2. 05:06, Hibernate (not to be confused with sleep) the laptop by running the command "rundll32.exe powrprof.dll, SetSuspendState 0,0,0.
  3. 05:30, running a "task B". To perform this task, the laptop is supposed to wake up from hibernation, because this "task B" has also the "wake the computer to run this task" activated.

  The problem:

  Faithfully, the laptop awakens from his sleep at 04:00 to run "task A". However, it is not always faithful to wake up from hibernation at 05:30. 3 days (April 13), he stood at 05:46 instead of 05:30. Today, he was not awake to the top even by 06:05!

  Then, there are following around this interesting phenomenon :

  1. Today at 06:05, when I found that the cell had not awakened, I checked if the food was THERE... it wasn't. As soon as I turned on the power, he automatically stood. When he awoke, he showed that the battery is charged to 64%! Which implies, my manual operation of switches WE supply should not have been necessary in the first place!

     Earlier, on 13 April, however, no manual intervention of any kind has happened and the computer had its power supply IT throughout the night. Yet he stood AFTER the scheduled time.

  2. Then, this Act of waking from hibernation after the scheduled time is fascinating to me. From my point of view, the computer must either wake up on time, or it does not wake up at all because I chose NEITHER option "Run task as soon as possible after a regular check is not respected" , OR the ' if the task fails, restart every ' option.

  Here, I would like to bring a few details & confirmations:

  1. There is no defect in the backup provided by the battery of my laptop because it provides a safe backup for about 2 to 3 hours. Even if I'm typing this message, actually on battery, not on a current area of my laptop power supply.
  2. I usually leave the computer power mobile power during the night as a precaution against the batteries running out of power. Even on 13 April, it was YOU. Last night was the first exception to this regime, which began 21 days ago.
  3. I don't have either the "start the task only if the computer is powered" or the "Stop if the computer switches to battery power" options enabled for a task planned in question.
  4. I also have the advanced power settings "allow wake timers" is set to enable for "on battery" and "Plugged In".

  So, I have the following questions:

  1. Why computer faithfully to wake up from its sleep, but not as faithfully to wake up from hibernation?
  2. The State of food plays a role any in this Act of waking from hibernation? Does it matter if the computer is on battery or plugged when waking up when "start it the task if the computer is powered" or the option "stop if the computer switches to battery power" enabled?
  3. Finally, what can I do to correct this erratic behavior?

  Right - a scheduled task cannot be configured to wake the system from hibernation.

  In the properties of the task, the Condition is "wake the computer to run this task":

  

  The key words here are "Wake" and "Sleep".

  When your system is in sleep, he is still able to get a stimulus like a click of the mouse or keyboard stroke to wake up or a scheduled task to wake him up.

  The only way you can be awakened, it's if you sleep - you cannot be reactivated if you are hibernating (aka powered off completely = death).

  You cannot use a ST to wake the computer after Hibernation.

  You might be able to set an option in the BIOS to power the system at some point and have then an era channel a few minutes after this date.

  You may be able to configure your router to send a WOL packet (wake on LAN) to the system to a point and then have an era handle a few minutes after that date.

  Useless answers?

  Some often banned users has some good tips:

  Ignore responses that begin with the words "Hi" or "Hello" contain methods and steps, ignore phrases that start with the word 'try' and responses that end with the words "check if it helps" you can save yourself a lot of time and frustration.

  Hi Abuh_986,

  Because you are always faced with the question, try to perform a repair installation (upgrade on-site) to solve the problem.

  When you perform an upgrade on the spot, it takes the same amount of time to do the upgrade as to reinstall the operating system. In addition, some of your custom Windows settings may be lost through this process.

  Run a repair installation will restore the current installation of Windows to the version of the installation DVD. It also requires the installation of all the updates that are not included on the installation DVD.

  Note: a repair installation will not damage files and applications that are currently installed on your computer. However, you can take a backup of the data.

  You can check the article to perform a repair installation after you close all running applications:

• Is it possible to rename an existing task in Windows Vista Task Scheduler Library, in the computer management console?

  The 'Name' field seems to be greyed out on existing tasks, even if the other attributes of these tasks can be changed.

  Hi Casey,.

  Thanks for posting the question on the Microsoft Community Forum.

  Want to know how to rename a task into task schedular, I suggest that you try the steps mentioned below.

  a. in the Task Scheduler, highlight the task in question.

  b. click on export and choose a location to save the file (office is as good a place as any).

  c. click Save.

  d. in Windows Explorer, navigate to the location where you saved the file.

  e. you can then rename it as usual. Back in the Task Scheduler, click the import job.

  f. navigate to the renamed file.

  g. click OK.

  h. now highlight the original task (do not forget that there are now 2 tasks, one with the original)

  name and one with the new name), then click on remove.

  Hope the helps of the steps.

  If you have any questions/comments more on Windows post on the Microsoft Community Forum.
