Mmc and task scheduler

I setup a policy to block the MMC tools I don't want users to have access to but somehow this also blocked task scheduler, my research indicates this is a known problem but I have yet to see a solution.
Any ideas how I can achieve my goal without affect Task scheduler?

Hi,
Before going further, thanks for providing the link.
It is true that there is no specific policy setting to permit Task Scheduler snap-in. As a result, we can choose to individually disable the snap-ins we want to , or we can refer to the method provided by Cicely Feng in the thread you mentioned to
import a custom adm file to do this.
To create a custom adm file, we can create a txt file, copy the template to this txt file, and then modify the txt file to .adm file.
Regarding how to add a custom adm file to a GPO, the following article can be referred to for more information.
Add or remove an Administrative Template (.adm file)

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.
Please feel free to let us know if you have any question or concern.

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.

Outlook Calender and Tasks Scheduling forecast Improvement

Often times task assigned don't end in one hour or a few hours or few days. It would be nice to have a feature whereby I can select "To be completed in" 10 "weeks" or "days" or "hours". So I can custom
enter my number, but also custom choose how long the task will be: weeks or days or months. Something of the likes of a "Scheduling wheel cart" given out by our Vendors for advertising. This neat feature if incorporated will give
the user an instantaneous outlook of the forcast for specific tasks and can plan other items or make important schedule planning decisions.

Hi,
The Task is an Outlook feature which data is saved in mailbox in Exchange server. Since the issue is related to the Outlook feature instead of Exchange server, please refer to Ed Crowley’s suggestion to ask a question in Outlook forum for more help:

Script doesn't work in task scheduler

I know it has already posted many times but I have already tried everything and still I can't get it to work.
The script is a simple send email function and it works if executed from the command prompt:
powershell.exe -f .\sendEmail.ps1 [email protected] "Test Subject" "Test Message"
But in the task scheduler it doesn't work and no email is sent. The exit code of the task is 0xFFFD0000:
Task Scheduler successfully completed task "\SendEmailTest" , instance "{15ff2070-ee25-4b2e-9ae1-274eda0d8c3a}" , action "powershell.exe" with return code 4294770688.
The task is configured to run under the SYSTEM account with highest privilege, powershell ist configured with unrestricted execution policy, why it doesn't work?
I have tried also with a simpler task to create a text file
New-Item c:\scripts\new_file.txt -type file -force -value "This is text added to the file"
But it doesn't work too, so it should be some other missing privilege somewhere but I couldn't find anything in internet.
Thanks for any help

I found another possible issue while looking at a similar problem. I was unable to execute a PowerShell script as a Task Scheduler action, even though the script ran correctly when logged into Windows as the target user and running within PowerShell.
Task Scheduler would consistently display the 0xFFFD0000 error when I nominated the script in the task's action arguments using what I believed to be normal PowerShell quoting rules:
-ExecutionPolicy Bypass -File 'D:\full path\to\script.ps1'
PowerShell acquiesced and Task Scheduler fired off the task immediately and without issue when I changed the quotes I used from single to double:
-ExecutionPolicy Bypass -File "D:\full path\to\script.ps1"
Dropping to a command prompt and executing the full command immediately revealed the problem:
D:\>C:\Windows\System32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\powershell.exe -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -File 'D:\full path\to\script.ps1'Processing -File ''D:\full path\to' failed: The given path's format is not supported. Specify a valid path for the -File parameter.
Notice the strange use of two single quotes before the path and one single quote after.
The moral of the story: When feeding the full path of a script to PowerShell as a command line parameter,
use double quotes!

Do I need IIS or Task Scheduler for a windows install of the SOA suite

I am currently trying to set a R&D SOA environment up on a windows box. By default these services are disabled when we usually set up our application servers within dev. So do I need IIS and task scheduler to be running on the windows environment when I install the SOA suite?

Hi,
you do not need the IIS because SOA Suite is shipped with its own Apache.

Require script or a method to Run .exe files on target computers using task scheduler or any other Windows server intigrated tool

Hi All,
We are outsourcing services to our clients. One of our clients whom we manage the whole Active directory / Exchange 2010 infrastructure have a requirement.
We would like to run a .exe file from one server to another server / servers remotely to generate a report. The challenge is that we do not have permissions on some servers to access so we cannot login manually and run the .exe file to generate that report.
(All are in the same domain restricted or non restricted)
The domain Administrator (Client) Has restricted us to login to those servers due to security reasons. And is not providing us permissions or not giving the username and password to login to those servers.
Requirement is :
To run a .exe file with some parameters in it on the restricted servers Via powershell script or task scheduler (As the task will be created by the domain admin in the server in which we have access by entering the domain account).
As we have to run this .exe file on around 60 servers (restricted) so an option should popup asking the name of the agent in which you want to RUN the .exe file or a source input via CSV will also be fine.
Can anyone tell me or can this be possible ? Is there any one who has made such a script.
Can anyone please help.

Task scheduler missing from Restricted/Permitted snap-ins?

Hi all,
We are using Active Directory 2008R2, and recently we have a issue about GPO. The situation is:
We enabled the "Restrict users to the explicitly permitted list of snap-ins" for some users(Windows XP and Windows 7), it located at "User Configuration\Policies\Administrative Templates\Windows Components\Microsoft Management Console". After then, these
users could not open task scheduler anymore, it noticed "The snap-in below, referenced in this document, has been restricted by policy. Contact your administrator for details."
I tried to enable permit use of task scheduler but just could not find it from "Restricted/Permitted snap-ins".
Is this sort of a bug or I went to the wrong place? Does anyone aware of this? Any feedback is appreciated!

Hi,
Yes, there is no exist setting to explicitly permit Task Scheduler if you enabled "Restrict users to the explicitly permitted list of snap-ins". As a workground, you can use some custom adm file. You can refer to this link for a sample:
http://www.mombu.com/microsoft/windows-group-policy/t-vista-mmc-task-scheduler-not-in-group-policy-3677534.html

Task Scheduler UI crashes upon launch

Hello,
Last week, a customer called to report that her workstation was not booting. Long story short: There was a problem with the hard drive. I cloned the drive to a new disk and that brought the system back up.
While looking for damage after the clone, I noticed that the Task Scheduler UI does not launch. Specifically, if you open "Task Scheduler" from the Start menu, nothing appears. If you access the Task Schedule from Computer Management, Computer
Management closes unexpected. (The same thing happens when you add-in the Task Scheduler to a new MMC.)
To be sure, this problem could pre-date the hard drive problem. I really don't know.
I have no reason to believe that task scheduling isn't working. The service runs and I've scheduled a task from the command line successfully. But, admittedly, the loss of user-friendliness is kind of a big deal to the end user.
The only evidence I've been able to track down so far is that with each crash, the Application Log shows
EventID 1023:
.NET Runtime version 2.0.50727.5477 - Fatal Execution Engine Error (000007FEF80C54F6) (80131506)
What I've tried:
1. I've run the dotnet repair tool from Microsoft which found problems with 4.5 and repaired them.
2. I ran SFC which reported it found problems and fixed them.
3. I've tried known-good copies of Tasksched.msc.
4. I've cleared out both the Tasks folder and the cache in the registry to see if a particular entry was causing the crash. No difference.
What am I missing?
Cheers,
m

KM Task Scheduler , retrieve IPortalComponentRequest request

Hello,
I would like to use KM Task Scheduler :
public void run( String id, Properties properties ) {
IPortalComponentRequest request;
String location = request.getPublicResourcePath();
It's normal, it doesn't work ! How can I use IPortalComponentRequest for my schedule task ?
Thanks a lot
Best regards,
Aurélien

Aurelien,
ok then, place your xml file into any package of your project. For example:
In package called "my.package.files" place file "myfile.xml"
then wherever within your code (let's assume you have an class called MySchedullerTask) call next structure:
URL url = MySchedullerTask.getClass().getClassLoader().getResource("my/package/files/myfile.xml");
and then work with the file.
Just one more note: non Java files are not build always into application PAR acrhive.
To do so, you have to check in option:
"Yes, I want the non java sources includet into the portal components jars"
You will find this option in NWDS:
Window -> Preferences -> SAP Enterprise Portal -> Application Development Studio.

All/any computers i have had for 10 years are, even though stand alone..forced to be a workstation on an unknown domain whose people set global policy through mmc and every exploit and probably more..they set global policy always know my passwords

i could go on forever and the only way i can be helped is by remote and seeing irregularities for yourself or to physically come to where i am. denial of service, controlling which updates, controlling all services, devices..many unsigned drivers..use of
many "legacy" parts, technology in computers..changing of most file extdoing...anyone out there who could help? thanks
ensions..and icons, control of colours themes ..of cd disk..won't let me set up a printer always know any passwords including "setup" where i will change things only to have them change back..they control of course task manager mmc and anticipate
with all kinds of rules what i can or can't do..enough .said..i have been a teacher at college level a broker with CIBC a boat captain and owned a number of businesses and I assure you these people or organization have cost me 100/000 of frustration not to
mention over $200,000 in cash..they often crash my computers when i get close to new information on how/what they are i am rarely able to get any advice or help mainly because so many "experts" don't believe it is possible..they use every
kind of network protocol, many at once plus remote so loop ras, unp and tunnelling etc..all software or security and spyware virus programs assume that if your computer shows as being on a network/domain then all activitied by the admin of that domain are
ok..sso no protection..this also has happened tp hundreds of computers..o.s doesn't matter or linux or apple xp, vista windows 7 etc

Hi AG,
I tried to do that but it's not working.

This works, but when I did the same with RMAN backup it doesn't.
Any more help please?
