Running a .cmd file at startup using Task Scheduler on Windows 2012 R2 server

Hello,
I've recently tried to get a simple .cmd file running at server startup on my Windows 2012 R2 server.
The .cmd (test.cmd) file contains the following:
C:
cd C:\SomeFolder\
call Some.exe file "Argument1" "Argument2"
I've ensured that the local administrator user [someuser01] has full control of the C:\SomeFolder
I've also ensured that someuser01 is part of Log on as Batch Job
in Local Security Policy
To try running it as startup, I tried using Task Scheduler.
General Tab: I set the user (local administrator account [someuser01] ) and ticked the options
Run whether logged on or not, Do not Store Password, Run with Highest Privileges
Triggers: At System Startup, Ticked Enabled
Actions: Start a Program. Program/Script: test.cmd, Add arguments: [Blank], Start in: C:\SomeFolder
Conditions: Unticked all conditions
Settings: Ticked only the following --> Allow task to be run on demand, If the running task does not end...force to stop
Then I clicked OK and was prompted for someuser01's credentials.
I then restarted the server.
Upon logging in as administrator, I checked the task scheduler, and I found that the task did not run (Last Run Time: Never)
I've been able to run it manually (click Run on the task in Task scheduler) without any problems.
I just cannot get it to run at startup as I've instructed Task Scheduler to do.
Any ideas on what might be causing this problem?
Thanks.

Hello Dave Patrick,
I've also tried this approach and I came across this error after I try to enter someuser01's credentials:
An error has occured for the task sometask01. Error message: The following error was reported: A specified logon session does not exist. It may already have been terminated..
After doing some research, this new error is caused by a setting in Local Security:
Local Security Policy --> Security Options --> Network Access: Do not allow storage of passwords and credentials for network authentication --> Enabled
Unfortunately, I cannot disable this Security Policy due to our company's internal restrictions.
Just to clarify, the reason that the task does not run at startup is because of a logon failure because the password was not stored for
someuser01 ?
However, I cannot allow storage of the password because of our our company's internal restrictions.
Is there a possible workaround for this..?
Thanks!

Run powershell script against exchange using task schedule

I want to run this using task scheduler
Get-MailboxStatistics -Server mailserver | Select DisplayName, ItemCount, TotalItemSize | Sort-Object TotalItemSize -Descending | Export-CSV "\\pacetoputreport\report_$((Get-Date).ToString('MM-dd-yyyy')).csv"
I know I have to run some variation of this to launch the exchange module
C:\Windows\System32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\powershell.exe -noexit -command ". 'C:\Program Files\Microsoft\Exchange Server\V14\bin\RemoteExchange.ps1'; Connect-ExchangeServer -auto"
How can I do this in Task Scheduler? I have tried numerous times using various combinations, but nothing seems to work.
Thank you

You need to put the first part where you call powershell.exe in the Program/script part of the task, but the rest of it is put into the arguments section. As explained here
http://www.msexchange.org/kbase/ExchangeServerTips/ExchangeServer2013/Powershell/scheduling-exchange-powershell-task.html (which has versions for both 2010 and 2013, but since you list V14 in your filepath I assume you're using 2010) you'd need to
set the arguments to :
-version 2.0 -NonInteractive -WindowStyle Hidden -command ". 'C:\Program Files\Microsoft\Exchange Server\V14\bin\RemoteExchange.ps1'; Connect-ExchangeServer -auto; <Your Command>"

Can Crystal Server 2011 run on a Windows 2012, R2 server?

Hey,
I purchased Crystal Server 2011 in April 2013. Unfortunately, due to a heavy workload I'm just now ready to install it in a test environment. Will Crystal Server 2011 run on a Windows 2012, R2 server?

If you update your CR Server to SP 5, then yest, it is supported on WIN 2012.
See the PAM.
To get SP5 you will have to loin to the SAP Market Service Place.

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.

Issue with Task Scheduler on win 2012 R2

Hi All,
I am running a powershell script on windows server 2012 R2. It runs fine when i run it with powershell.
And when i create task and choose option " Run only when the user is logged in" it works fine.
But the issue is when i select "Run whether is the user is logged in or not" And with highest privilege it doesn't work.
Tried solution:
created a folder (or two on a 64bit-windows):
(32Bit, always)
C:\Windows\System32\config\systemprofile\Dektop
(64Bit)
C:\Windows\SysWOW64\config\systemprofile\Desktop
as the powershell creates a excel and saves it in the some folder.
not sure what is causing it.
Any help on this will be appreciated.

Hi,
From the
Task Security Context article, we can get following description.
You can specify that a task should run even if the account under which the task is scheduled to run is
not logged on when the task is triggered. To do this, select the radio button labeled Run whether user is logged on or not. If this radio button is selected, tasks will not run interactively. To make a task run interactively, select the Run only when user
is logged on radio button.
Just a confirmation, did your PowerShell script involve any operation of mapped drive? If involved, please
use the full UNC path and monitor the result. Please refer to following similar thread and check if can help you.
Task
Scheduler Problem (run whether user is logged on or not)
Meanwhile, please open this scheduled task’s Properties and navigate to History tab, then check if find some
relevant events.

If any update, please feel free to let us know.
Hope this helps.

Windows 7 SP1 client file lock on network share hosted ny WIndows 2012 Server

Hello
I have one strange problem after migration from Windows 2003 Server to Windows 2012 Server R2 Standard.
All migration tasks went well but two things do not work.
In Computer Management you have The Opened Files feature and if you open any file that is located on the network share hosted by Windows 2012 R2 form Windows 7 SP1 and then close it
it remains open in the Opened Files tab (even if you wait an hour). There is no problem with Windows XP SP3. The issue exist only with Windows 7.
The session view of sessions to the file server do not work. If I try to open it I get the message that the application is not responding.
Can someone help me with that ?
About the environment:
It is one server Domain migrated form 2003 to 2012R2.
The domain and forest level was raised to 2012 R2.
I have made clean install of Windows 2012 R2 and then migrated AD.
Best Regards
Sebastian Sala

Hi Sebastian,
>>There is no problem with Windows XP SP3. The issue exist only with Windows 7.
T>>he session view of sessions to the file server do not work. If I try to open it I get the message that the application is not responding.
Based on the description, please check event logs in Event Viewer to see if there were some related events logged. Besides, does this phenomenon happen all Windows 7 clients? We can try to restart the client to see if it helps.

Custom scheduled tasks dissapears in Windows 2012

I have created custom task in Task Scheduler, but it does no appear under "Active Tasks".
I found the task in C:\Windows\System32\Tasks, but not in the "schtasks /query".
What is happening?

Hi sindred,
àI have created custom task in Task Scheduler, but it does no appear under "Active Tasks".
I also create a task in my Lab environment via Task Scheduler. Yeah, as you find, the scheduled task didn't appear under "Active Tasks". However, after that task running, please refresh,
and then you will find it in "Active Tasks" list.
àI found the task in C:\Windows\System32\Tasks, but not in the "schtasks /query".
How you configure Location option in General tab when create this task? After creating the scheduled task, please click Task Scheduler Library and check if find that created task. I also run
"schtasks /query" command. However, I can find that task which I created. I suggest that check the result of "schtasks /query" command again. Meanwhile, please open this task Properties and click History tab, then check
if find some relevant events.
If any update, please feel free to let me know.

Task scheduler in windows 2008 R2 cluster.

We have clustered server and there's two nodes - Active(A1)/Active(A2).
Ordinary client can connect A1, but A1 is failed then connect A2 by windows 2008 R2 cluster.
We have a task scheduler exe module created by .net framework in each node.
When A1 server is operated, we wanna just A1 job scheduler active.
And A2 server is operated, just only A2 job scheduler acitve.
Can We contoller this situation in exe module or Failover Cluster Manager?
parky

If you upgrade to Win2012 or higher you can. Here's a blog on it:

How to run SQL script file on Linux using Java ?

Hi,
I need to execute .sql file using java. I used following approach for this.
private void runScriptEvent(java.awt.event.ActionEvent evt) {
        String sqlOutput = "";
        String sqlPromptLines="";
        String currentFunctionName = "";
        if(con!=null){
            String userName = jTextField4.getText();
            String password = jPasswordField1.getText();
            String databaseName = jTextField3.getText();
            try {
                String script_location = "";
                ProcessBuilder processBuilder =null;
                Process process = null;
                //File file = new File("C:/ScriptFile");
                File file = new File("./SQL_Script");
                //File file = new File("E:\\install\\SQL_Script");
                if(file.exists()){
                    File [] list_files= file.listFiles(new FileFilter() {
                                    public boolean accept(File f) {
                                    if (f.getName().toLowerCase().endsWith(".sql"))
                                    return true;
                                    return false;
                int count = 0;
                    for (int i = 0; i<list_files.length;i++){
                        script_location = "@" + list_files.getAbsolutePath();//ORACLE
//currentFunctionName = list_files[i].getName();
StringTokenizer st = new StringTokenizer(list_files[i].getName(), ".");
while(st.hasMoreTokens()) {
currentFunctionName = st.nextToken();
String extention= st.nextToken();
System.out.println("Function Name = "+currentFunctionName + "\t Extention = " + extention);
processBuilder = new ProcessBuilder("sqlplus",userName+"/"+password+"@"+databaseName, script_location); //ORACLE
processBuilder.redirectErrorStream(true);
process = processBuilder.start();
BufferedReader in = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(process.getInputStream()));
String currentLine = null;
while ((currentLine = in.readLine()) != null) {
sqlPromptLines = " "+sqlPromptLines + currentLine +"\n";
count ++;
System.out.println(count+" " + currentLine);
if(currentLine.equalsIgnoreCase("Function created.")){
sqlOutput = "\n" sqlOutput currentFunctionName + " " currentLine"\n" ;
break;
}// end while
in.close();
process.destroy();
}//end for
}//end if file exists
} catch (IOException e1) {
jTextArea1.setText(e1.getMessage());
System.out.println("Script Done");
jTextArea1.append(sqlOutput);
}// end id Connection is not null
Above code working appropriate on Windows but not on Linux.
is there any changes needed ?

Ajay

Hi gimbal2,
about code
jTextArea1.setText(e1.getMessage());I am using this code so that the user will be prompted with a message rather than stack trace.
About the issue I am getting on linux i believe its because of following statement.
processBuilder = new ProcessBuilder("sqlplus",userName+"/"+password+"@"+databaseName, script_location); //ORACLERegards,

SCP, SSH and SFTP in CMD / File-Explorer and SSH key management with Windows Credential Manger

Please add SSH, SFTP and SCP in CMD and File Explorer.
Also, allow us to copy to FTP in File Explorer.
Would be nice to have the SSH credentials managed by Windows Credentials Manager.

Even with the RHEL firewall completely disabled, it has the same upper limit. SCP between the Solaris systems, with ipfilter running on both systems and both systems on completely different networks, is not a problem. Between Solaris and RHEL, same network but different subnet, RHEL with no firewall running (only while troubleshooting this, don't panic), still a problem. Using PuTTY SFTP from/to any of the systems is fine, even though on different networks. The mtu on the RHEL was the same as the Solaris systems (1500) - changing values on the RHEL increased the upper limit but still hit a ceiling. Only have one RHEL system so I can't see whether RHEL-RHEL transfers are affected, only those between Solaris, PuTTY on Windows, and the one RHEL system.

Flash drive capacity is inaccurate after deleting files from it using my MacBook Pro Mid 2012.

Hi. I'm hoping someone can help me figure out my flash drive problem. I'm a new MacBook Pro user and have a Mid 2012 model. I have a Patriot Supersonic 64gb flash drive that I've been using for a few years and has always worked great. I'm not sure if the use of it is relevant, but if so I use it to load movies on, which I then plug into a box (NBox V3) connected to my tv for my kids to view. When the flash drive gets full I swap out the old movies with new ones. I have also used it to transfer movies from my mac to pc.
A little while ago, after transferring files to my pc, I got a message stating my flash drive was full when I tried to add additional movies to it. I deleted more than enough files to make room for the new file, but the available capacity never changed, no matter how many files I deleted. I figured it wasn't compatible going back and forth between my mac and pc, but after talking to support, they said it should be fine and helped me erase the data and reformat it to FAT32. I had the same problem again, so decided to erase the data again and reformat it again to FAT32, but this time not use it in conjunction with my pc. I'm only using it with the tv box now. I'm now running across the same problem again. It's full. I've transferred files from it to create new room, but the available capacity never changes.
I'm frustrated now b/c I'm not sure where to go from here. I'm not sure what exactly is the problem. I had to purchase a new external hard drive (WD My Passport for Mac) in order to store files from the flash drive before deleting them b/c I didn't want to use it with my prior external hard drive (Maxtor) since it is used with the pc. I think that may have been a waste b/c after researching possibilties again today I think it may have something to do with my MacBook Pro ports being USB3 and possibly not compatible with my flash drive, which is a few years old. I'm really not sure though. I could go out and buy a brand new flash drive, but I really don't want to spend any more money without really knowing what the real problem is.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks LowLuster! With that info I have another questions if that's ok. First, I'm sure it's formatted to fat32. I have learned I can't transfer movies over 4gb. I use an external hard drive for those. The files are ones I've downloaded from YouTube in the mp4 format and are never over 1gb. They're all mb in size.
I didn't realize flash drives had limited writes. Is there any way to confirm I've reached the limit? Both times I reformatted it I was able to add back the videos I previously had on it. I would say there were a hundred or so. Both times I left some "growing room" on the flash drive so I could add more files. And, both times I was able to continuing adding until I had reached the max capacity. The problem occured after I tried deleting files to free up space. Does this make sense with "the amount you have used it" theory? Does it start to become buggy at that point, or does it just make writes to the drive impossible?
Thanks

1 hd with 2 file formats for use between mac and windows?

Think this is the right forum...
I want to instal a program onto an external hard drive for use on both mac and windows. The program supports both mac and windows.
My plan is to get an external hd and partition it in half. One half i will format mac os extended and the other i will format ntfs. I'll instal the mac version on the mac partition and the windows version on the ntfs partition.
This should work i'm thinking, yes? I.e. when i plug it into windows it'll run the windows installation no problem and when i plug it into the mac it'll run the mac installation no problem?
Thanks.

An easier solution might be to just connect the drive to a Windows PC and format it as FAT32. Both Windows (98 and higher) as well as Mac allow full read/write access to FAT32 formatted drives. No need to download any drivers, etc. It just works.
Yes, this solution is not perfect, but none are. The free NTFS drivers for Mac are not most efficient drivers for speed/performance, the HFS+ drivers for Windows are not cheap, and have their own performance issues, and FAT32 has the limit of file sizes over 2GB (or is it 4GB now?) not supported. No one solution is perfect, but for the many one is better than the others, but it all depends upon their circumstances which is "better".
