Result code 0x40010004 in Scheduled Tasks - Server 2003

Hi,
I have enabled a task scheduled to run on a daily basis at 22:00. The "Last Result" i get when I run the task is 0x40010004. The task runs a custom VB Script that needs to connect to a database in Microsoft SQL Server 2005 and do some cleanup on a database.
What does the 0x40010004 result code mean?

Hi,
Can you manually run this VB script? Did you run the task using an account with enough permission?

  • Last Run Result Email Alert from Scheduled Task

    Hi All,
    Ive a newly require need to move 3 files from a local server to a remote server via FTP each evening.
    Local server is a Server 2008 box.
    I have setup WinSCP to transfer the files over successfully via a Scheduled Task
    Now i need alerting!!
    Ive setup the email function in Task Scheduler and it does send me an email but a pretty pointless one at that as it doesn't tell you the Last Run Result status code.
    So all i know is the job has run but i don't know if with errors etc.
    Each morning ill have to FTP to the remote server and manually check the time and date stamps myself to make sure the copy was successful.
    Ive checked the event log and it writes an Event ID 201 to the Task Scheduler Event Log and that has all the info i need in the description, but i cant attach that event to my scheduled task as there are lots of 201's for all different scheduled tasks that
    run that by the OS.
    Anybody know how i can get the last Run Result in the body of the email or the subject line at least - so i know if it is a 0x0 the job has been successul and anything other than 0x0 that there has been a problem.
    Any suggestions?
    Thanks in advance.

  • Question on Cimsession code running as Schedule task

    #I have a scheduled task running that calls a ps1 file to collect zone data. The task is set to run whether I'm logged in or not. I noticed that if I add -Cimsession to the code, it will only collect the data when I'm logged onto the machine where the Scheduled
    task is running from.
    Get-DnsServerStatistics -CimSession (Get-Content c:\serverlist.txt) -ZoneName test.local | Out-File -Append test.local.csv
    #However, when I change the code from -Cimsession to foreach, it collects data even if I'm not logged in. Is this an expected behaviour?
    foreach ($server in Get-Content c:\serverlist.txt) { Get-DnsServerStatistics -ComputerName $server -ZoneName test.local | Out-File -Append test.local.csv }

    It is a sched task issue and not a scripting issue.  Post in the windows forum for guidance on creating tasks.
    Run when logged on is an option.  Uncheck it.

  • Windows 2003 server scheduled tasks not work properly. Please help.

    I created a couple of windows shell scripting programs. When I call them from command line, it works well. Then I use Task Scheduler to schedule them to be run daily. The strange thing is: If I log into server and open Task Scheduler window. The scheduled tasks will run automatically and execute with result code 0x0. It works well. However, if I just set up Task Scheduler and log out of the server, the scheduled works will not run with result code 0x80. Here is the log info
    "programname-parametername.job" (programname.cmd)
     Started 1/28/2010 11:20:00 PM
    "programname-parametername.job" (programname.cmd)
     Finished 1/28/2010 11:20:00 PM
     Result: The task completed with an exit code of (80).
    I used windows adminstrator account, not system account to schedule the work. I changed scheduled work to be run by my admin account, not by system account. Please advise me where is the problem and how to fix it. Thanks in advance.

    Hi Polarisws,
    According to your description, I understand that your scheduled task did not run when the user is not logged in the system.
    Please go to the services.msc and select the "task Scheduler" service, double-click it and go to "Log On" page, enable the option "allow service to interact with desktop" and test the result.

  • Windows Server Backup scheduled task run successfully but backup do not start (not running) on Windows Server 2012

    Hi,
    A backup job has been setup on Windows Server 2012 (Platform: Win32NT; ServicePack: ; Version: 6.2.9200.0; VersionString : Microsoft Windows NT 6.2.9200.0) via Windows Backup Software UI (Local Backup 1.0).
    It is appearing as a scheduled task "\Microsoft\Windows\Backup\Microsoft-Windows-WindowsBackup" belonging to user 'nt authority\system' in task scheduler.
    The problem is that the Backup job never start despite the scheduled task running and completing successfully (when run automatically or manually)!
    Would you be able to explain why and assist in resolving that issue?
    Here is what we know:
    When the backup is run manually via the Windows Backup Software UI, it works fine.
    When the backup is run via command line (as set in schedule task) in a cmd command prompt (as local/domain 'administrator' or as 'nt authority\system' which is possible by running command prompt via 'PsExec.exe -i -s cmd'), something like "%windir%\System32\wbadmin.exe
    start backup -templateId:{f11eb3aa-74e7-4ff4-a57b-d8d567ee3f77} -quiet", it works fine.
    If you manually run the preset scheduled task while logged in as administrator, the task run and complete successfully but the backup job does not start.
    Idem if you schedule task is run automatically at scheduled time.
    The schedule task run and complete successfully but the backup job does not start.
    It is confirmed by running the following in a command prompt as 'nt authority\system':
    schtasks /run /tn "\Microsoft\Windows\Backup\Microsoft-Windows-WindowsBackup"
    SUCCESS: Attempted to run the scheduled task "\Microsoft\Windows\Backup\Microsoft-Windows-WindowsBackup".
    Despite success result, the Backup job does not start running...
    No errors or warning appears anywhere in Event Logs (Microsoft > Windows > Backup or Task Scheduler) nor in the scheduled task History tab. The schedule task complete successfully but no Backup job is run...
    If scheduled task automatically set by Windows Backup software is duplicated (copied) and set manually it runs fine as 'administrator' and as 'nt authority\system' (subject that 'nt authority\system' is added to the 'Backup Operators' AD group).
    Here is an export of the current pre-set schedule task, is there any settings that need to be changed to make it works?

    Thank you in advance for your feedback.

    Once again, the issue is not to run the backup manually from the command line but to have it run via the scheduled task setup by the Windows Backup software.
    By default, the schedule task is to be run as NT Authority\System, and when run under this account, the backup does not start (even though account is member of Backup Operators) and job can manually be run via elevated command prompt. This is not a normal
    behavior and constitute a major bug in Windows Server 2012.
    From my understanding the NT Authority\System account is a built-in account from Windows that should by default be part of the Administrators group (built-in) even though it does not explicitly appears like it in AD by default.
    This account shall have by default Administrators rights and Backup Operators rights (via the Administrators group) without being explicitly added to those groups (http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-gb/library/windows/desktop/ms684190%28v=vs.85%29.aspx). By design
    it is supposed to be the most powerful account which has unrestricted access to all local system resources. If that is not the case (as it seems) then this would constitute a major bug in Windows Server 2012 edition.
    As said previously and as you confirmed, currently by default NT Authority\System on Windows 2012 server cannot start backup manually via an elevated command prompt unless it is manually added to Backup Operators (or Administrators) group. But wouldn't that
    constitute a bug of Windows Server 2012?
    Our server has not yet been restarted since I added NT Authority\System account to the Administrators group explicitly manually so I cannot yet confirmed it would sort the issue. Indeed it is heavily in use so cannot easily be restarted. Will confirm when
    done.
    We also have an additional problem where after a while of last reboot, part of the Exchange ECP can no longer be properly loaded in the web browser due to compilation error (compilation is done via NT Authority\System account which seems to no longer have
    sufficient right to compile .NET code). What is strange is that it works at first and then stop working at some point... I am hopeful that adding NT Authority\System to the Administrators group would sort this issue as well but once again, that shall not be
    needed!!!
    Could a Windows Server 2012 update introduced some security policy changes or else that prevent NT Authority\System to have full power?

  • Alternatives to PowerShell automation of Excel (Scheduled Task) in a Windows Server 2012 R2 world

    I have a handful of PowerShell scripts that ran as Scheduled Tasks on an old Windows 2008 SP2 server, which output reports as Excel workbooks with multiple worksheets, via a COM object. After migrating these scripts to a new Windows 2012 R2 server,
    these scripts no longer function. The Server 2008 system was running Office 2007, and the new Server 2012 R2 server has Office 2013 installed.
    What is everyone using on their Server 2012 R2 systems to automate generation of multi-sheet reports in Excel via PowerShell and Scheduled Tasks?
    I know that Microsoft has said that automating Office applications server-side in non-interactive mode, but it has worked in the past, until now. (https://support.microsoft.com/kb/257757)
    I've tried the OpenXML PowerTools for PowerShell (https://powertools.codeplex.com/), but Export-OpenXMLSpreadsheet will only export a single worksheet, and they don't support adding worksheets to existing files
    (am I missing something?). I understand the OpenXML PowerTools can be extended in C#, but I don't C#. The PowerShell cmdlets were released in Jan 2012, but don't look to have been updated since then (updates have been the core C# code).
    I've seen recommendations to add C:\Windows\(System32 or SysWOW64)\config\systemprofile\Desktop, but this hasn't worked on Server 2012.
    Has anyone been able to get Excel 2013 to cooperate on Server 2012 R2, or come up with a suitable alternative? I'd rather not start running these scripts from my workstation.
    EDIT:
    I'm not necessarily looking for an Excel answer, since there are OpenXML ways of doing things now without the Excel application.
    Here are some of the errors I'm getting when approaching this from different directions. When I use:
    $excel = New-Object -comobject Excel.Application$workbook = $excel.Workbooks.Add()
    Results in error:
    Exception calling "Add" with "0" argument(s): "Microsoft Excel cannot open or
    save any more documents because there is not enough available memory or disk
    space.
    • To make more memory available, close workbooks or programs you no longer
    need.
    • To free disk space, delete files you no longer need from the disk you are
    saving to."

    + $workbook = $excel.Workbooks.Add()
    + ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    + CategoryInfo : NotSpecified: (:) [], MethodInvocationException
    + FullyQualifiedErrorId : ComMethodTargetInvocation
    The server is definitely not lacking for resources.
    I can copy a blank XLSX file and use .Open($xlFile) instead of .Add(), but then when I go to open a CSV file to copy/paste the content to a worksheet, I get this one:
    Exception calling "Open" with "1" argument(s): "The server threw an exception.
    (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80010105 (RPC_E_SERVERFAULT))"

    Things that I've tried so far, with no success:
    I created C:\Windows\System32\config\systemprofile\Desktop and C:\Windows\SysWOW64\config\systemprofile\Desktop as suggested here:

    @ jrv - I will try posting a similar question in the Excel 2013 forum, but since I'm looking for a scripting solution to produce an OpenXML spreadsheet, and not something that necessarily uses the Excel application (though such a solution would not be turned
    away), I thought this the more appropriate venue.
    (to reiterate from OP) I have seen and acknowledge Microsoft's statements regarding the unsupported nature of automating Office applications in non-interactive environments, but the truth of the matter is, supported or not, it worked in the past (Server
    2008), it's what I inherited from my predecessor, and I know I'm not the only one who has been using Excel in this way. I'm only asking fellow scripters, some of whom must also be using Excel in this "unsupported" fashion, how they are automating
    creation of their spreadsheet reports after moving to Server 2012. A different system modification to make the Excel comObject continue working as before? Direct manipulation of the OpenXML document? Other solutions that may or may not require launching the
    Excel application?

    #1 - Ask in Excel 2013 forum.
    #2 - Microsoft has repeatedlynoted that this is NOT a supported configuration for Office products.
    #3 - What errors are you getting?
    #4 - What have you done to debug this:
    #5 - No one can be of much help unless you post a very simple example of how this fails.

  • Incremental and Full backups using WBADMIN and Task Scheduler in Server 2008 R2

    I'd like to create an automated rotating schedule of backups using wbadmin and task scheduler, which would backup Bare Metal Recovery; System State; Drive C: and D: to a Network Share in a pattern like this:
    Monday - Incremental, overwrite last Monday's
    Tuesday - Incremental, overwrite last Tuesday's
    Wednesday - Incremental, overwrite last Wednesday's
    Thursday - Incremental, overwrite last Thursday's
    Friday - Incremental overwrite last Friday's
    Saturday - Full, overwrite last Saturday's
    I need to use the wbadmin commands within the Task Scheduler and do not know any of the required Syntax to make sure everything goes smoothly, I do not want to do this through the CMD.

    I know each backup for the previous corresponding day will be replaced, how do you figure I wont be able to do incremental backups...
    Because incremental backup is based on Volume Shadow Copy (VSS) feature and due to Windows Server 2008 R2 limitations (this limitation is resolved in Windows 8) only one version of backed up data can be stored in a shared folder. So the
    result is that every time you back up some data on a shared folder, you actually creating a full backup of them.
    is it not supported through task scheduler?
    The Task Scheduler is only a feature that does the tasks that you have defined for it. Actually it runs the
    wbadmin command that runs on an operating system with the mentioned limitation.
    I know you can do Incremental backups through Windows Server Backup, but my limitation using that is I cant setup multiple backups.
    Yes, you are right. Windows Server Backup feature in Windows Server 2008/2008 R2 has not this functionality (although
    ntbackup in Windows XP and Windows Server 2003 had this functionality). So, the only workaround to this limitation is through using Task Scheduler feature with wbadmin command. For more information see the following article:
    http://blogs.technet.com/b/filecab/archive/2009/04/13/customizing-windows-server-backup-schedule.aspx
    So are you saying that even though I want each backup to go to a different place on the Shared Folder that it will replace the previous backup anyways?
    No and because of this I said in my previous post that with some modifications and additions you can do the scenario. For example, you back up to a shared folder with the name of Shared1 on Mondays. You also have been configured the backup feature to back
    up data on another shared folder, named Shared2, on Wednesday. When you repeat the backup operation in Shared1, only the backed up data that resides on it will be affected, and the data on Shared2 remains intact.

    Hi R.Alikhani
    Then do you know if wbadmin supports incremental backup in Windows 8? As you said the VSS issue is fixed in Win8. However, the wbadmin has less options then in windows server. I tried a bit but it seems it only supports full backup? ps, I use a network share
    - will the incremental backup works if I define a ISCCI then? My remote backup PC is also running Win8.

  • Opening Excel Workbook Fails when run from Scheduled Task on Windows Server 2008 Rw

    Hi,
    I have a little vbs script that instantiates the Excel.Application object and then opens a work book to perform some tasks on it. The script runs fine when run from the command line. When I attempt to run it as a scheduled task (it is supposed to update
    data that is pulled from a SQL Server at regular intervals), it fails with the following error:
    Microsoft Office Excel cannot access the file 'c:\test\SampleWorkbook.xlsm'. There are several possible reasons: .....
    The file does exist. The path reported in the error is correct. The account under which the task is running is the same account I use to run it from the command line. User Account Control is not enabled, and the task is set up to run with highest privileges.
    When I run the same script through the Task Scheduler from a Windows Server 2003 machine, it works without issue.
    I was just wondering if somebody on this forum has run into a similar issue in connection with Windows Server 2008 R2 and figured out what the magic trick is to make it work. I'm sure it is rights related, but I haven't quite figured out what which rights
    are missing.
    Thanks in advance for any advice you may have.

    This is truly killing me ... trying to get it working on Windows Server 2012 without success.
    I desperately need to automate running Excel macros in a "headless" environment, that is non-interactive, non-GUI, etc.
    I can get it to work using Excel.Application COM, either via VBScript or Powershell, successfully on many other Windows systems  in our environment - Windows Server 2008 R2, Windows 7 (32-bit), etc.,  -BUT-
    The two servers we built out for running our automation process are Windows Server 2012 (SE) - and it just refuses to run on the 2012 servers - it gives the messages below from VBScript and PowerShell, respectively- 
    I have tried uninstalling and re-installing several different versions of Microsoft Excel (2007 Standard, 2010 Standard, 2010 Professional Plus, 32-bit vs. 64-bit, etc.), but it makes no difference.
    Would be extremely grateful if any one out there has had any success in running Excel automation on Server 2012 in a non-interactive environment that they could share.
    ( I have tried adding the "%windir%\syswow64\config\systemprofile\desktop"
    folder, which did fix the issue for me when testing on Windows Server 2008 R2, but sadly did not resolve it on Windows Server 2012 )

  • Scheduled Task will run on Windows 7, but will not run on Server 2008 R2

    So I have a scheduled task that uses nircmd to take a screenshot and then email it to a few company emails each night.  With our old Exchange 2003 server, everything works prefectly on the 2008 R2 server (using SMTP).  But since we upgraded to
    Exchange 2010 it no longer seems to work (at least it never sends the email anymore).
    What confuses me more is that this exact task (I exported it) runs perfectly fine on a Windows 7 Pro computer, even using the new Exchange 2010 SMTP address.
    Both machines are logged in as the same user.  I can even login as the domain administrator on each machine and still have the same issue.  Only the Windows 7 Pro machine will successful run the task.  To restate it, the Server 2008 R2 server

  • Server 2008 and MS Access 2007 Scheduled Task

    I have a Server 2008 with MS Access 2007 installed.
    I created a task that is designed to lanuch Access, open a designated database, and run a macro. The macro calls a function within the database that generates a series of reports in PDF format for use in a web app.  The task was created to
    run a local user, with credentials stored.  This whole process has been running fine for many months.  A recent group policy change has caused this to now stop.
    The GP now states that user credentials can no longer be stored.  I changed the task so that it is to run as SYSTEM but this is not working either.  It seems access is launching as SYSTEM, I can see this in the task manager, but it does not seem
    to open my database since no .ldb is being created.  I also added logging code to my function and nothing ever gets in there.  I think the issue is that there is no profile for SYSTEM, so when access starts running it's looking to build a profile
    for that user.
    Does anyone know how I can make this work?

    Hi Scott,
    Based on my research, the functionality of storing password for some Group Policy Preferences is being removed because the password was stored insecurely.
    Especially for Scheduled Tasks and Data Sources, we will be unable to achieve the same goals that were available through the non-secure functionality of Group Policy Preferences passwords.
    As a workaround, scheduled tasks still can run in the context of the local service. 
    More information for you:

    If that is true, then what is the following TechNet article discussing?

  • XLReporter and scheduled task error code (2)

    Hello Experts,
    After upgrading from 2007A to 8.8.1 PL4 all XL Reporter jobs stoped working. So i've recreated scheduled tasks. But after this tasks still not working. In tasks log all tasks return code 2.
    Example below:
    Finished 5/5/2011 5:00:07 PM
    Result: The task completed with an exit code of (2).
    When I run job manually from XL Reporter it works fine. When run manually from Scheduled tasks it gives error 2
    What else can be done, checked?

    Hi bets,
    Please refer to the thread below:
    Creative Cloud desktop failed to update.(Error code: 2)

    I am having problems  saving documents back to SharePoint when any of the document properties (metadata columns) are set to be "managed metadata". The check-in/save fails with error:

    I have seen similar threads that suggest this is a known issue with this version of Acrobat but I would like conformation from Adobe that this is a known issue and whether it is fixed in a newer version?
    Adobe Acrobat version 10.1.13
    SharePoint 2010

    Hi quodd,,
    We are sorry for the issue being faced by you. I need some information from you so that I take further steps:
    1. Which Adobe product are you using Acrobat or Adobe reader- what is the complete version?
    2. How are you opening and saving the PDF, the exact workflow?
         Are you doing it from within Adobe Reader/Acrobat application or opening it from browser, doing changes and saving it using browser itself.
    3. Can you try to save a PDF to library with Custom template and managed metadata columns using browser directly.
    4. Please verify that columns name do not contain spaces or some other special characters.
       Can you try to save PDF to library with Custom template and just a single managed metadata column  with a simple name
    Thanks,
