CF9 Deleted Scheduled Tasks Still running

I have several scheduled tasks that were deleted via the admin but they are still running. Don't show up in the admin, but still run.
I have tried to programmatically delete them also. Have looked in neo-cron.xml and they dont exist in there either.
Any ideas?

Update to this.
Not only are deleted items running, but active items are running twice.

MDT 2010 Deleted task still running

Hi Guys, I have been using MDT 2010 with Litetouch for deploying Windows 7 x64 clents for the last month. I have a main task sequence which does the deployment and a test task sequence for me to try new things out.
On the test task sequence I created custom task which deletes a desktop icon, the problem now is that even after I have deleted this task it still runs even though its not in the task sequence any longer.
Even when I create a new task sequence the deleted custom task still runs! This is very strange any ideas?

Hi,
it sounds impossible :)
I think the same action might have been configured in another step, or it might be added as a dependency on some application.
To verify, you could take a look at the xml files that descrive your applications and taks sequences in .\control.

CF9 and Scheduled Tasks

We recently migrated our web site to a new server running CF9 (64-bit, Windows 2003) and I had several scheduled tasks that run on a night basis. So I set up the tasks in the CF Administrator but when try and run them via the administrator I get an error and the in the Scheduler Log I get a "400 Bad Request". Now the URLs defined in the scheduler is a page on our site under our domain (e.g. http://www.lake-link.com/scheduledTasks/daily.cfm ect) (This is not a working URL but just an example for this). If I run the link in a web browser it works fine, but it continues to get a 400 bad request when run in the CF Administrator. Now when I change the URL in the CF Administrator to localhost (http://localhost/scheduledTasks/daily.cfm) it works fine but I do not want to do this as there will be other domains on this server and each of them will have their own scheduled tasks and local host can only be defined for a single site. Is this an IIS setting or security setting? Why would the URL be getting a 400 Bad Request from within CF and not when I run it via a browser? Any help is appreciated!!!

Hi
When you say you run the link in a browser, is this the browser on the server? Does it work when you run the job from the browser on the server?
Also, Is the target address password protected in any way?
Cheers

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.
Certain scheduled tasks do not run anymore after DST change

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.

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).

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!
Please mark as helpful if you find my contribution useful or as an answer if it does answer your question. That will encourage me - and others - to take time out to help you. Thank you! Off2work

[Forum FAQ] Fixing scheduled task Next Run Time displaying as expired time plus days to delete

Symptom:
We used Task Scheduler to create a scheduled task. For example, we configured a daily task, starting from 3 AM 9/3/2014, recurring the task every 1 day, and set the expiration time as 3 AM 9/3/2015 (See Figure 1). Under
Settings tab, we checked If the task is not scheduled to run again, delete if after:
option, and set the value as 30 days (See Figure 2).
However, in the Task Scheduler Library snap-in, we saw that the Next Run Time of the task is 3AM 10/3/2015, which equals expiration date plus days to delete (See Figure 3), but the right value should be 3 AM 9/2/2014 because the task has never been run.
Figure 1
Figure 2
Figure 3
Cause:
This is a Task Scheduler interface displaying issue. Although the next run time that is displayed in the Task Schedule is incorrect, the trigger will be fired correctly.
Solution:
We can install the hotfix in the following KB article to fix the displaying issue, though the symptom in the article is different.
An incorrect value for Next Run Time is displayed when you specify multiple triggers to schedule a task in Windows Vista, Windows 7, Windows Server 2008 or Windows Server 2008 R2
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2495489
After installing the hotfix, we need to restart computers to make it take effect.
In this example, after installing the hotfix and restarting the computer, we see that the next run time of the task is displayed correctly in Task Scheduler (Figure 4).

I am not running out of space, but I do have the same problem. Every so often TM does a backup which is about 60 GB bigger than expected.   The extra is always a new backup of /System /Applications /usr etc. - that is the 'system files'.
The key thing is, as you have noticed:
Examining the content of the latest backup, the one that did not fail, shows that some system directories, /Applications, /usr, and /bin are missing
As a consequence the next backup is, in my case, 60 GB bigger because it includes all the system files.
It is as if 'systemFilesExcluded' was turned on for the previous backup (the one that 'did not fail'). But I have looked in the .exclusions.plist for this backup and it is exactly the same as for other backups and does include:
        <key>systemFilesExcluded</key>
        <false/>
It seems that TM is treating this as if <true/>.
Like you, I have done a disk verify and it finds no errors.
I think this must be a bug. I have had this on four occassions since upgrading to Mountain Lion. And it is doing a large one right now - I have caught it in the act!

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.

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.

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!

Need to delete Scheduled Tasks automatically using a script or schtasks.exe, but it is NOT allowing it - PLEASE HELP!

I have tried and tried to get this to work in a script, but it simply is NOT doing what I need. I am simply trying to run
schtasks /delete /tn <task name> /f
but when I do, I receive the following ANNOYING ERROR:
ERROR: The system cannot find the file specified.
I am looking right at the task in the Task Scheduler utility, so I know it EXIST!!
Then, when I run a "schtasks /query" I see that the task I want to delete has the following information:
INFO: There are no scheduled tasks presently available at your access level.
I can delete the tasks just fine in the Task Scheduler console, but I NEED this to be automated so these tasks can be deleted on multiple systems.
Can someone PLEASE help me out with this. The systems I need this to run on our Windows 7 SP1.
Thank you

Listen up dude, I am not a home user I am a professional and this same issue is spread all over the internet with most professionals scratching their head not understanding why it is not working.
However, I found the answer here:
http://www.jonathankeller.com/2012/02/schtasks-query-tn-tasks-over-network.html
So you see "dude" even your link shows that you were not a professional as any professional would have read the help first. Your post give no information as to what you are doing and assumes that a system utility is a script which nearly
all professionals agree that system utilities are not scripts.
From the question and the very arrogant response it is clear you are a home user with no formal technical training....or are you theoffice manager who was stuck with doing these things for your boss?
Your "handle" is also very unprofessional and telling about your "I AM Sir Ask A lot". Try studying the technical information about Windows. Learn to start with the system help. It will save you a lot of blood pressure
excursions.
Also note that the help is explicit. Use the folder path syntax returned from /Query and not the one you see in the GUI. Again - learning to use help first would save a lot of headaches.
Stick with it kid. When you get to by half my age you might be able to call yourself a "professional". Until then - hit the books.
¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Hello All,
I have created a scheduler task for the , for the same I have created a PAR file , have successfully Build the project and deployed , Have configured the time in the Global services .

As well as When I go to "Service configuration" --> Portal Application , there also I could not see my custome application .
Initially whenever there use to be any error (for example -- CM systems not assigned etc etc ).
Is it something I am missing while deployement , Or has it being deployed properly?

Hi All,
for some reason scheduled tasks are not running even after trying to force it manually
any ideas would be helpful
Thanx
Fred

Hi ,
check the log file, to identify why it;s stopping , any exception .
Also, If you are using oc4j as app server then , you need to give current time+1 min. in start time to allow cronjob trigger your task.

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".
