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".

HT4883 Help - I am in India running OSX10.8 and cannot access the web as y datacard requires Java

I just arrived in India. My internet access is by datacard as I am in a rural area. The datacard requests Java runtime 6. I downnloaded it from the net on another computer but cannot install it as it is a version that requires an earlier operating system. It does not seem there is a download for OSX 10.8. If anyone has any ideas about how I can install Java onto Mountain Lion without being connected to the net please help. I already tried to access it via Terminal but it just says not found.
thanks for your help.

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.

Data Manger error: the system cannot find the file specified.

Hi,
I am using VPN to connect to MDM repository and get error:
the system cannot find the file specified. Windows sockets error code 2. And forced exit data manager. However I can login the other repository on the MDM server. Can you suggest any way to fix? Thanks!
David

It really does sound as if you are having a problem with ports. If you are able to connect to even one repository, then the problem is not with the Data Manager.
Here is how you can check:
1) Open the MDM Console, and note the port numbers of the loaded repositories.
2) Now open a Command Prompt window and type the following command:
telnet [mdm server] [repository port]
(you can use either the machine name or IP address for mdm server).
For example:
telnet 10.20.30.40 5500
You should get an empty command-type window with no error messages. This indicates success. You can close the window by clicking on the "X". Try this with the one repository which works in the DM, and then with the other repositories.
Let us know the results,
Walter

[Forum FAQ] Cannot perform a backup schedule via Windows Server Backup and receive "The system cannot find the path specified." Error

Symptom One
You attempt to
schedule a backup every day via Windows Server Backup on Windows Server 2008 R2. At the beginning, the backup works without issue. But after a few days it failed and you receive the error “Windows Server Backup:
The system cannot find the path specified.”
Cause
The issue may occur if there is
no shadow copy storage space available on the backup volume.
Verify
You can use the List ShadowStorage command to check if you have enough storage space to store the newly created shadow copy. If you've reviewed the size of the backup snapshot and discovered
that there is no allocated space for the storage association, you need to resize shadowstorage.
Solution
You could run the command below to create shadow copy storage space on the backup volume:
vssadmin resize
shadowstorage /for=<ForVolumeSpec> /on=<OnVolumeSpec> [/maxsize=<MaxSizeSpec>]
More Information
Vssadmin resize shadowstorage
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc788050.aspx
Symptom Two
When you add
another external hard drive to backup schedule via Windows Server Backup on Windows Server 2012, it fails and you receive the error “The System cannot find the path specified.”
Cause
The issue is due to the
Original Destination Disk was not attached to the server.
Verify
You could check the disk status in Disk Management to see if the Original Destination Disk is offline or removed.
Solution
You need to attach
Original Destination Disk to the Server then choose another external hard drive as backup target. After that, you could remove the Original Destination Disk.
Workaround
To work around this issue, please use the WBADMIN command line tool to add disk.
WBADMIN ENABLE BACKUP -addtarget :{ DiskID}
The AddTarget parameter takes disk ID as parameter. It can be retrieved by running "WBADMIN GET DISKS" command.
Example:
WBADMIN ENABLE BACKUP
-addtarget :{ aa123d14-bba0-1dd9-0d93-80aaaa6bbb63}
More Information
Wbadmin enable backup

Bulk Insert Task Cannot bulk load because the file could not be opened.operating system error error code 3(The system cannot find the path specified.)

Following error i am getting after i chnaged the Path in Config File from
\\vs01\d$\\Deployment\Files\temp.txt
to
C:\Deployment\Files\temp.txt
[Bulk Insert Task] Error: An error occurred with the following error message: "Cannot bulk load because the file "C:\Deployment\Files\temp.txt" could not be opened. Operating system error code 3(The system cannot find the path specified.).".

I think i know whats going on. The Bulk Insert task runs by executing sql command (bulk insert) internally from the target sql server to load the file. This means that the SQL Server Agent of the target sql server should have permissions on the file you trying to load. This also means that you need to use UNC path instead to specify the file path (if the target server in on different machine)
Also from BOL (see section Usage Considerations - last bullet point)
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms141239.aspx
* Only members of the sysadmin fixed server role can run a package that contains a Bulk Insert task.
Make sure you take care of this as well.

Error occurred while getting a schedule list.The system cannot find the fil

Hi all,
If i open the "packages shedule status".I am getting error like "Error occurred while getting a schedule list.The system cannot find the file specified".How to fix this issue?.Anyone have idea please share.
Thanks in advance
AD

Hi Venkii,
This kind of error message is usually fixed by deleting all entries in tblSchedule table and in tblScheduleHist table in SQL, and then deleting all schedules in the Scheduler server (Control Panel --> Scheduled Tasks)...
Hope it will help...

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!

"The system cannot find the path specified" error when installing a network printer running Win 7

Some of the end users are having issues when trying to install network printers. We have created a portal where they can locate the printer they want to connect to, click connect, and the printer will download with the correct drivers on their PC's. The
entire company is running Win 7 for their operating system. One end user in particular has had issues installing multiple printers from the portal, when I go to test installing these same printers on my PC, they all install successfully. trying to figure out
why some end users hav issues with installation and others do not. They will get the error, The system cannot find the specified path. Any help would be great

Hi JeffWilko,
What is your current situation?
To receive better analyzation, please provide more details?
1. Could you explain a bit about the sentence ‘installing multiple printers from the portal’ ?
2. Check the event viewer and share us the related error log.
Please take the following steps for troubleshooting:
1. Ping the printers
2. Check if there are network firewall to block the access

SharePoint farm - SQL Server - MSSQLSERVER service is running as "Local System" - Can I change it to Domain User account?

Hi there,
In my SharePoint 2010 farm - on the SQL Server:
The MSSQLSERVER service is running under Local System.
1. Can I change it to run as a normal Domain User account?
2. Does it need any extra privileges?
3. Is it a safe thing to do?
Brief description will be very useful.
Thanks so much.

You need to create Service account with password never expire option+ User never change password

Running config.cmd produces - The system cannot find the path specified

I had successfuly installed Weblgic/OSB and cofigured a domain on 64 bit windows 2008
I then uninstalled all components and re-installed everything |( including deleting all directires ) .
When I come to run config.cmd to create the OSB Weblogic domain I get :-
The system cannot find the path specified
I have set echo on and can see that the cmd file is attempting to acces directories that do not exist - so the command file is getting wrong info from somewhere but I just cannot figure out from where. I donlt think its a script issue, its more like an issue with some setting somewhere in windows regirsty or some cache that its pulinng it in from - the wrong directoties displayed seem to look like my existing dir's with ~1 and ~2 on the end.
Any ideas suggestions greatly received.

I have not edited any of the scipts at all - they are as they have been laid down byt the install.

The system cannot find the path specified

"Windows could not start the offline files service on local computer. Error 3: The system cannot find the path specified"

Using Windows 8.1 Pro on Toshiba Satellite i7 Laptop with 8Gb Ram
After upgrade from Windows 8 Pro to 8.1 Pro, the Offline Files/CSC service refuses to start and gives the error message:
"Windows could not start the offline files service on local computer. Error 3: The system cannot find the path specified"
Before the upgrade, offline files worked fine... how do I re-enable offline files?

I had a similar issue - couldn't make any files available offline.
I found that the offline folder service would not start
This was because the CSC permission were totally screwed. I had to take ownership of each folder and file, one by one, then grant everyone full access.
then delete the full contents of the CSC folder
format the CSC database using the registry fix then reboot
in control panel, disable the offline files, reboot, then re-enable. and now its working :)
2hrs to resolve this, with grateful thanks to this thread and some others.
