Cannot get scheduled task to run

Hi Folks,
Googled lots for this but cant find the answer. Sorry to have to post.
When i browse to the file it works fine, but wont execute from cfadmin. Can anyone help?
I've checked permissions and they seem to be ok.
Any help much appreciated.
Thankyou

Start by checking the Output to file checkbox. Then indicate a text file to write to.
Schedule the task for some point in the next five minutes.
Wait for the time to pass
Read the text file that was created.
Oftentimes it will reveal that an error occured, and say what type of error.
As for permissions, are you checking the persmissions in your web server (IIS???) or in your Windows folder?
You need to go to the web server interface, and make sure the file in question is allowed to be run by whatever account is used to start the ColdFusion service, since THAT is the user as far as the execution of this file is concerned.

Creating scheduled task to run powershell script

Hi all,
been following this guide on how to create scheduled task to run a .ps1 script:
http://blogs.technet.com/b/heyscriptingguy/archive/2012/08/11/weekend-scripter-use-the-windows-task-scheduler-to-run-a-windows-powershell-script.aspx
When I manually run this task,in the history it says success, but it doesnt work.
The script should create a report and send me an e-mail.It works fine if i run it manually in Windows powershell or Powershell ISE.
I cannot see that a new report have been created either.
Anything im missing here?
Been using same account to run it manually and the one using in task scheduler.
thanks!

Try executing the same command in cmd line, do you get a different result? or does that work as well?

Cannot get java window to run at all.

I'm using 1.4.2, and cannot get any java to run at all. It's on a Windows 2000 server, and I've rebooted it a few times. Can't even get the Java Applet window to open from the control panel. javaw.exe runs in the task manager, but that's it. Any ideas? Anything else I need?

That's the Java Control Panel you can't open.
Try uninstalling ALL Java versions, rebooting after each uninstall, and manually removing any directories that Java made after all are removed. Reboot again, then download a new offline Java installer file and install that. There's something in the machine that's bad.

Scheduled Tasks wont run

I had recently upgarded to CF8 from CF7.
After the upgrade non of my Scheduled Tasks are running.
Even when i trigger the tasks manually from CFAdmin I get the response "This scheduled task was completed successfully."
But nothing really runs. My application is using Integrated Windows Authentication and the schedulled tasks were running fine with CF7.
Now when i switch off the Windows authentication, the scheduled tasks are working fine.
Could you please tell me why my Scheduled Tasks are not running when i turn on Windows authenticaton, where as it was working perfectly with CF7.

ColdFusion schedule tasks CAN NOT run under windows integrated authentication. ColdFusion is not a windows product, it does not pass the NTML headers with requests. You have to turn off windows integrated authentication for any resource you would like to run as a schedule task. Helpfully, you can set that permssion to individual files and|or folders so you do not need to turn it off for the entire site.
I don't know why this would change after an upgrade, unless you built a new CF8 server with a newly built IIS as well.

Cannot get windows update to run after hard drive install and recovery

I cannot get windows update to run after a new shdd 1 tb was installed.

Any help would be appreciated

Hello kjdsynz,
Have you taken a look at the HD & SSD manual? Did the recovery fail? If you take a look at this page for help with that.
Please let me know if this has helped.

Server 2012 Scheduled tasks not running after DST

Since the DST change this weekend the weekly scheduled tasks on our 2012 standard server are not running. The schedule show the correct next run time, but the task never runs. The server correctly adjusted for the DST changes (We are in CST in
the US) and if you look in the date time it notified us that the clock was set forward.
Any ideas?

Hi Mark,
Before going further, would you please let me confirm whether only weekly scheduled tasks t run? In other words,
did some daily scheduled tasks run smoothly?
Based on current situation, please create a new weekly
scheduled task and check if encounters the same issue.
If this issue still persists. Please let me confirm if you make scheduled task run some commands or a script,
or others I misunderstand. For an example, if run a script, please directly run it in the Windows Server 2012 Standard and check if there any issue occurred.
Meanwhile, please open Task Scheduler, select this problematic weekly scheduled task, click General tab. Please
check which user account was used to run this task. And please check Run with highest privileges, then check if can solve this issue.
In addition, please check History tab in task Properties. Please pay attention on the time-point when the weekly
scheduled task should be ran, and check if you can find some events at that time-point. It may help us to go further analysis.
By the way, there is a similar thread. Please refer to.

Schedule tasks to run on wake up?

Is it possible to schedule tasks to run when a Mac wakes up (preferably Terminal/UNIX)?
I want to run a script when I open my laptop. Is that possible without installing further software?

You could use System Preferences -> Energy Saver -> Schedule to wake up the Mac (or at least try), then if you can have your tasks run in the background, you might be able to either use a repeating Calendar entry that runs an app, Applescript, or Automator app, or use a launchd.plist (launchd is non-trivial, but effective).
The key is to have tasks that do not need to be actually logged in at the time. That is to say, they do not need a GUI up and running.
Not sure that Dropbox works without being logged in, but there may be other ways to sync things between Macs without using Dropbox. Maybe something like bittorrentsync (I've only heard about it, but have not played with it).
As Chris CA suggests, so not shutdown your Macs, but maybe just sleep them with your account already logged in. Then when the scheduler wakes them you are already logged in. Then when the tasks you need to run complete, you can let the normal idle system sleep interval put them back to sleep (be sure to set the sleep interval to a long enough period to allow your tasks to complete).

Scheduled Task to run as Local System cannot access the Netlogon Share in Windows 8.1

I've created a Scheduled Task that is setup to run as the local System Account which uses cscript.exe to execute a VBScript residing on the Domain Netlogon Share. It works perfectly on Windows 7, but fails miserably on Windows 8.1. When I open a command
prompt as the System account and try to run the script from the Netlogon share manually, I get the following error:
CScript Error: Loading script \\<FullyQualifiedomainName>\Netlogon\xyz.vbs failed (The account used is a computer account. Use your global user account or local user account to access this server. ).
Is there something different I need to set in Windows 8 to get this to run?
Thank you!!
Eric Myers

Hi Eric,
What's the result of Arnav's question?
How did you set it? Please set it as the following steps:
1.Go to Start > Administrative Tools > Task Scheduler
2.In the Task Scheduler window double click your task, and on the "General" tab, under "Security options" section, click the "Change User or Group" button.
4.Make sure "From this location" is set to the local machine name (to change click "Locations" button and select the local computer name)
5.Type "SYSTEM" in the text box and press ok . Under "When running the task, use the following user account:" you should see "NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM".

How can I setup a scheduled task to run a Powershell Script delivered as a Group Policy Preference

I have a Powershell script I want to run only once when a user logs onto their system. This script would move all the PST files from the Local drive and the Home drive to a folder location within the users profile. I wanted to run this as a Windows 7 Scheduled Task using Group Policy Preferences. How can I get this to happen short of a logon script? I have updated all the machines to WMF 4.0 so could I use a Scheduled Job instead? I wanted to run the script as the logon user but elevated.#Start Outlook and Disconnect attached PST files.
$Outlook = New-Object -ComObject Outlook.Application
$namespace = $outlook.getnamespace("MAPI")
$folder = $namespace.GetDefaultFolder("olFolderInbox")
$explorer = $folder.GetExplorer()
$explorer.Display()
$myArray= @()
$outlook.Session.Stores | where{ ($_.FilePath -like'*.PST') } | foreach{[array]$myArray+= $_.FilePath}
for
($x=0;$x-le$myArray.length-1;$x++)
$PSTPath= $myArray[$x]
$PST= $namespace.Stores | ?{$_.FilePath -like$PSTPath}
$PSTRoot= $PST.GetRootFolder() #Get Root Folder name of PST
$PSTFolder= $Namespace.Folders.Item($PSTRoot.Name) #Bind to PST for disconnection
$Namespace.GetType().InvokeMember('RemoveStore',[System.Reflection.BindingFlags]::InvokeMethod,$null,$Namespace,($PSTFolder)) #Disconnect .PST
#Move All PST files to the default location while deleting the PST files from their original location.
$SourceList = ("$env:SystemDrive", "$env:HOMEDRIVE")
$Destination = ("$env:USERPROFILE\MyOutlookFiles")
(Get-ChildItem -Path $SourceList -Recurse -Filter *.PST) | Move-Item -Destination $Destination
#Attach all PST files from the default location.
Add-type -assembly "Microsoft.Office.Interop.Outlook" | out-null
$outlook = new-object -comobject outlook.application
$namespace = $outlook.GetNameSpace("MAPI")
dir “$env:USERPROFILE\MyOutlookFiles\*.pst” | % { $namespace.AddStore($_.FullName) }

Mike,
I do not understand what appears to be a regular expression above. I did add the PowerShell script to the HKCU RunOnce Key as suggested.
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
C:\WINDOWS\system32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\powershell.exe -noprofile -sta -WindowStyle Hidden -ExecutionPolicy RemoteSigned -File "C:\scripts\Windows PowerShell\Move-PST.ps1"
I'm delivering this using Group Policy Preferences. It seems to fail or time out when run because the behavior is different if I run the script from within the PowerShell IDE. I added the parameters to the script and will try it again in the morning.

Cannot create scheduled task, access denied

Windows Server 2003 R2
I am logged in as a local administrator and cannot create a scheduled task:
[Task Scheduler]
The new task could not be created.
The specific error is:
0x80070005: Access is denied.
Try using the Task page Browse button to locate the application.
[OK]
My research lead me to look look in the Group Policy Object Editor for:
Windows Settings > Security Settings > File System > %SystemRoot%\Tasks
On this machine, there is no "File System" folder. In the MSDN Library, I find:
"The File System folder is available only in Group Policy objects associated with domains, OUs, and sites. The File System folder does not appear in the Local Computer Policy object."
Any ideas?

found this information, problem solved...
Problem Description:
===================
When trying to create a new scheduled task, error occurred "The new task could not be created." "0x80070005: Access is denied. Try using the Task page Browse button to locate the application."
Cause:
===================
The Administrators group lack permission on the C:\WINDOWS\Tasks folder.

Cannot get Win8 Pro computer run the Connect a Computer to the Server Wizard (computerconnector) of Essentials 2012

I've spent 1/2 the day trying to troubleshoot this problem and finally give up.
My client has a Windows Server 2012 Essentials server (with all updates installed - no errors in error logs nor SFC /SCANNOW). Purchased a new Windows 8 Pro computer, which we installed all the updates from Windows Updates and are now trying to join
the domain using the "Microsoft way" (i.e.: http://[servername]/connect).
The site comes up and it prompts us to download the software and run... so far so good, but when we get to the screen where it asks, "Type your new network user name and password" - the next screen after that we get the error, "Cannot connect
this computer to the network...".
I've been looking at cases all day long through Microsoft and Google - all pointing to problems with the SSL on the server - that's not the problem here (as other workstations have, in the past, successfully connected and we verified today that the local
server certificate is what is the default, as it should be).
I've tried just about everything I can think of and cannot get this silly wizard to work (why Microsoft, WHY!??!?!). Yet, I can join this domain just fine doing it through normal means. I've even tried joining the domain this way, and tried installing
the software afterwards (as the Essentials Console won't reflect the new workstation, thus it won't add it to group policies etc... though yes, I could manually do that and have - but we'd still like to get it to show up in the console). I even
tried the trick noted in a KB talking about running the connect software without joining the domain (registry key that gets added) - that didn't work either.
I'm out of ideas - and at this point had to get the client online and working today - so we joined it manually, configured it and left it. But I would like to get this fixed the "proper" way. Help?
I do have the clientdeploy.log file - which only points out an internal error, but I'm unsure how to enable the improved logging it suggests (I'll gladly post the logs if someone tells me how - I'll skip posting the log file here for now):
[1544] 140204.203620.0794: ClientSetup: MachineIdentityManager.GetMachineStatus had errors: ErrorCatalog:NetworkError ErrorCode:-1
BaseException: Microsoft.WindowsServerSolutions.Devices.Identity.MachineIdentityException: MachineIdentityManager.GetMachineStatus ---> System.ServiceModel.FaultException: The server was unable to process the request due to an internal error. For more
information about the error, either turn on IncludeExceptionDetailInFaults (either from ServiceBehaviorAttribute or from the <serviceDebug> configuration behavior) on the server in order to send the exception information back to the client, or turn on
tracing as per the Microsoft .NET Framework SDK documentation and inspect the server trace logs.
Suggestions? Thoughts? I hope Essentials 2012 R2 improves this - as I've had this error for other various reasons with other clients (and spent 1/2 days troubleshooting to clear those up). Essentials Connect, IMHO, needs a re-write - as
it's been nothing but a hassle... miss the SBS connect.

Hi slemay,
Before going further, please uninstall the Connector software from Control panel. Then connect again, will
the same issue persists? Would you please use another client to connect with the Server 2012 Essentials by using this way? Then monitor the result. Please make sure the computer has a physical connection to the local network.
Please refer to the TechNet article (Here)
and troubleshoot, then check if can help you to solve it.
In addition, please refer to the following articles and enable
WCF tracing to go further. Please check if you can find some clues.

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
will run the task successfully if I use the old Exchange 2003 SMTP address.
Thanks for any advice!

XLreporter scheduled tasks stopped running

Hi Experts,
We are experiencing problems on XLreporter scheduled tasks.
They worked properly with sending emails as daily routine. However for some reason they stopped running in windows Task Scheduler. We can still run the jobs thru manually in XLreporter Organizer with correct result and sucessful logs. In the mean time the service of Task Scheduler is ok for other tasks than XLreporter.
What we can see in Event Viewer is the error message with two other information message below for each run:
Error:
The VB Application identified by the event source logged this Application IXExecutor: Thread ID: 5904 ,Logged: An error occured while Initializing Job
Object variable or With block variable not set
Info:
The VB Application identified by the event source logged this Application IXExecutor: Thread ID: 5904 ,Logged: Before deleting mclsIFDSApp

Can you please advise? Many thanks Ryan

Just found this one too:
Note 855021
If you want scheduled report jobs in XL Reporter to be executed independently of the logon status of the user who defined the job, you must allow Microsoft Excel to be started by the scheduled job.
1. Choose Run from the Windows Start menu and type dcomcnfg.exe. A window called Component Services appears. Choose Component Services->Computers->My Computer->DCOM Config->Microsoft Excel Application from the list.
2. Right-click on Microsoft Excel and choose Properties. Choose the Security tab.
3. Choose Customize under Access Permissions and choose Edit...
4. Choose Add... and choose Users and/or User Groups that require access to Excel. Then choose OK.
5. Repeat the procedure for Customize under Launch Permissions.
6. Choose the Identity tab.
Choose This User.
Choose a user that is a member of the administrator group from the browse button and enter password.
This user will be the one that is given access to Microsoft Excel when executing scheduled jobs. Normally this would be the Administrator user.

Network Error []: Cannot Get Host Name when running business rules

Guru's
We are getting the following error intermittently when we are running business rules (Planning Application >>Tools>>Business Rules) or running SmartView refreshes:
Network error []: Cannot Get Host Name
The following is then logged in the Essbase Application logs:
Local/Application/Database/admin@Native Directory/Error(1042022)
Network error []: Cannot Get Host Name.
A quick look at the Essbase Error Messages Doc says it is a network error and we have to consult the network documentation. Unfortunately this is not very descriptive so we logged an SR with Oracle but we don't seem to be getting a resolution.
The environment is 11.1.2.0 and the architecture is as follows:
Server 1 - MS Server 2008 x64:
Planning, Calc Manager, Foundation Services, Framework Web Services, EAS, APS, Web Analysis, FR Web Services
Server 2 - MS Server 2008 x64:
Essbase Server
Server 3 - MS Server 2008 x64:
Framework Services, FR Print Services
We have tried doing the following:
1. Put in the server host names into the hosts file on the Hyperion Servers
2. Applied the following TCP/IP settings on all the Hyperion Servers and one of the user machines as a test:
      - Added a new DWORD Value named TcpTimedWaitDelay and set it to 30.
     - Added a new DWORD Value named MaxUserPort and set it to 65534.
     - Added a new DWORD Value named MaxFreeTcbs and set it to 6250
3. Confirmed that there are no packet drops by monitoring the server NICs so no packet loss could be the cause of this issue
4. The Essbase Config file has the following settings:
NETDELAY 2000
NETRETRYCOUNT 2500
Has anyone come across this issue and if you managed to resolve it, how did you go about it.
Thanx

Hi Rahul
The issue is happening to a number of calcs so it it not one calc specifically. I will ask the functional consultants to enhance the logging in the business rules so that we can see if the issue happens on a specific member\block etc and yes we do use Xrefs
We can run this as a calc in EAS without any issues and it's intermittent because this business rule runs 95% of the time in Planning Application >> Tools >>Business Rules without any issues.
Thanks
