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:

Prevent Scheduled Build from Running for Check-Ins Committed by Build Server
Hi there,
I am using TFS 2013.
I have a scheduled nightly build that runs only when there have been check-ins.
The problem is that my build process checks-out/in a couple files used for custom versioning. This is done under the machine account of the build server.
Even though no check-ins were committed by developers - the scheduled build sees the check-ins done by the build server and thus, executes another nightly build.
Is there a way I can prevent scheduled builds from running if the only check-ins were from the build machine?
Cheers,
KeithHI Keith,
I don't think we can achieve this kind of conditional trigger from TFS build definition. We had a similar situation so we disabled the TFS build and started the build using Powershell (windows scheduled task). Below is the powershell script. The scripts
gets the history for the day and checks for the user passed as parameter if even one changeset is not by the user the script will queue a build.
Param(
$BuildUser = "Account\ToIgnore",
$TfsUrl = "http://ABCD:8080/tfs/Collection",
$TeamProjectName = "TeamProject",
$BuildDefinitionName = "BuildDefinitionName")
$today = Get-Date
$yestday = (Get-Date).AddDays(-1)
$Daterange = $today.ToString("Dyyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ssZ") + "~" + $yestday.ToString("Dyyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ssZ")
$tfsServer = get-tfsserver $TfsUrl
$Changeset = Get-TfsItemHistory -Server $tfsServer -HistoryItem "$/TeamProject/XYZ" -Version $daterange -User $BuildUser -Recurse
$Changeset | Out-File C:\Windows\temp\Output.txt
$TriggerBuild = $False
foreach ($user in $Changeset)
if ($user.Owner -ne $BuildUser)
$TriggerBuild = $True
break
if ($TriggerBuild)
[void][System.Reflection.Assembly]::LoadWithPartialName("Microsoft.TeamFoundation.Client")
[void][System.Reflection.Assembly]::LoadWithPartialName("Microsoft.TeamFoundation.Build.Client")
$tfs = [Microsoft.TeamFoundation.Client.TeamFoundationServerFactory]::GetServer($TfsUrl)
$buildserver = $tfs.GetService([Microsoft.TeamFoundation.Build.Client.IBuildServer])
[Microsoft.TeamFoundation.Build.Client.IBuildDefinition] $BuildDefinition = $buildserver.GetBuildDefinition($TeamProjectName,$BuildDefinitionName)
[Microsoft.TeamFoundation.Build.Client.IBuildRequest] $BuildRequest = $BuildDefinition.CreateBuildRequest();
$buildserver.QueueBuild($BuildRequest) | Out-File C:\Windows\temp\Output.txt
Hope this help

Windows Server 2008 sp2 Task Scheduler missing next run time after restart
Hi,
I have the issue that there does not appear to be a fix for with a server 2008 sp2 (NOT R2) where after a restart all tasks are missing the next run time so I need to edit each task to add this time back in. I have tried the hotfix in KB 950035
but this when you run it is only for Vista and cannot be installed despite saying it's also for Server 2008.
For some reason also this is Task Scheduler version 1 not 2 which I thought came with windows since Vista so SP2 should have it.
Anyone got any ideas?
Thanks,Hi Evans,
Would you please let us know current situation of this issue?
As Dave mentioned, Windows Server 2008 Service Pack 2 include all the previously released updates for Windows
Server 2008.
Based on your description, I understand that all scheduled tasks still miss the next run time on your Windows
Server SP2 when the server restart. If anything I misunderstand, please don’t hesitate to let me know.
On current situation, please open Properties of one problematic scheduled task, navigate to History tab, then
check if find some relevant events or errors. Those may help us to go further analyze.
If any update, please feel free to let us know.
Hope this helps.
Best regards,
Justin Gu

Open local windows task scheduler programmatically from a button
What is the code to call windows task scheduler in visual basic 2013? I am not scheduling a task during this process, instead the requirement is to just attach code in a button that opens user's "Windows Task Scheduler" onclick. It would be more
like the programmatic equivalent of typing "taskschd.msc" on the Run dialog box. Users OS are Windows 7 and 8. I appreciate your help.System.Diagnostics.Process.Start("Schtasks.exe"); opened a console screen in the background, ran several lines and
quit. What I need is something similar that will simply open the Task Scheduler as shown on the attached. Thanks. -
Route Schedule missing from Sales Order
Hi,
I'm relatively new to this area of SAP. I've created a Sales Order that has picked up the correct Route but, looking on the schedule line, no Route Schedule has been defined even though, I believe I've followed the required steps.
Can you point me in the right direction as to how to check if my Route Determination process is complete.
Many Thanks,
MikeCheck the following
· Shipping point
Where are the goods coming from?
Ship-to party and unloading point
Where are the goods going to?
Shipping condition
How are the goods being shipped?
Transportation group
Which goods are shipped?
® For example, which type of goods?
Calendar week / year
When are the goods to be shipped?
If you do not explicitly enter the week and the year, the entry applies for each calendar week. If you enter a week and a year, the route schedule only applies for this week.
You can only use route schedules if you have maintained the working times and therefore at least one of the following times in minutes:
· Transportation planning time
· Pick/pack time
· Loading time
· Transit time -

SyncToy 2.1 Can't Find NAS Folder When Run From Task Scheduler
I'm using SyncToy 2.1 to keep two WIN7 computers and a Synology DS414j NAS drive in sync. I have several folder pairs configured, some between the two PC's and three between one PC and the NAS drive. I have a task set up for automatic syncing. The problem
is SyncToy can't find the destination folders on the NAS drive if it's run from Task Scheduler. If I run SyncToy manually, everything works fine. I've even tried opening the command prompt and running the exact same program Task Scheduler is running (SyncToyCmd.exe
-R), and it works perfectly. But when Task Scheduler runs the task, it fails to find the NAS folders with the following error message:
SYNC: 08/21/2014 14:12:26:140: *** Failed to execute folder pair Downloads to NAS. Could not locate folder \\DISKSTATION\Downloads\.
I've been looking for days for a solution and have not found anyone with this problem. Any ideas?Hi Texxxas,
Apparently the problem is not with SyncToy, it is with Task Scheduler. If you have had Task Scheduler work for you in the past, then I don't have an answer for that. I have never been able to get Task Scheduler to work correctly with SyncToy and a NAS drive.
I have found that for some reason it works with USB external HDD's but will not work with a network connected hard drive. The same bug exists in Win8.1 as well. However, I have since found a third party task scheduler that works perfectly with SyncToy and
my NAS drive. It is called System Scheduler by Splinterware. The free version only works when you are logged in but they have a paid version that runs as a service and will execute without being logged in. This has solved my problem. -
How to schedule the Batch file to run from task scheduler
Hello Everyone,
I have a batch file which kills the wscript.exe process, I am doing this manually, I need to schedule this batch file to run from task scheduler whenever the process wscript.exe reaches to specific numbers, i.e if the wscript.exe process count in task
manager reaches to 30, the task schedular should execute this batch file,
Is there a way to do so.
dibuHi,
àI need to schedule
this batch file to run from task scheduler whenever the process wscript.exe reaches to specific numbers.
As I know, it will not help you to achieve this target via Scheduled Task. When configure Scheduled Task, there
seems no Trigger option that help you specify this condition (process counts reaches to specific numbers) to trigger the batch file.
You could consider that improve this batch file. Adding the
Check function to the script will be a better option. For script issue, you can post it in the
Official Scripting Guys Forum. I believe we will get a better assistance there.
If any update, please feel free to let me know.

Running SFTP from script but Task Scheduler does not like part of it.
Hello,
I am trying to do some (not so) simple file copying using SFTP in this manner:
1) Map a drive to the destination, the SFTP program will not accept UNC paths
2) Use SFTP to copy the files to the target Server
3) Write a Timestamped entry to a log file
4) Remove the source files after copy
5) Remove the drive mapping
Everything works but Step two and that only fails running from the Task Scheduler (W2K8 R2). Running from the command line directly in PowerShell or using the Run box works fine all the way.
The sftp program is BitVise SSH Client using their log utility. The makes the command line very complicated.
The line I use in the Scheduler is powershell "D:\Scripts\SFTP_TPCCommission.ps1" Dev I have also tried using the -command parameter. Again, it only does not work in the scheduler.
Here is how I invoke it:
$CmdLine = "`"D:\\Program Files (x86)\\Bitvise SSH Client\\logs\\`" sftpc " + $Server + " -pk=1 -cmd=`"put -o -lf Z:\" + $File + " /TPCCommissions`""
& log ($CmdLine)
I have also tried a Here String to do the same thing. It works the same way.
$ArgText = @"
"D:\\Program Files (x86)\\Bitvise SSH Client\\logs\\" sftpc $Server -pk=1 -cmd="put -o -lf Z:\$File /TPCCommissions"
Any ideas?In a batch file or at the command (not PS) line the command structure looks like this:
log "D:\\Program Files (x86)\\Bitvise SSH Client\\logs\\" sftpc <user@server> -pk=1 -cmd="put -o -lf Z:\<Source> /<Destination>"
The double slashes are requirement of the log program which calls the sftpc program with its command structure.
The double-quoted section after "-cmd=" is required. The Z: drive is mapped because the SFTP program does not support UNC paths. (Stupid, but that is all I have to work with.
What you see in my post is just the part giving me trouble. I am using PS to keep track of what I am copying to the destination and removing from the source and creating a timestamped log of that activity.
As to the comment about Task Scheduler, I am using it. Like I said, it all works fine from anywhere but the Task Scheduler. -
Workflow does not start when PowerShell Script is run from Task Scheduler
I have a PS script that updates an item in a SP2010 list so that a workflow will be started. When I run the PS script manually from the PS window on the server it resides, the script runs flawlessly. If I set a scheduled task on the same server
to run the script with the same credentials as are being used in the PS window, the script runs, updated the info on the list, but DOES NOT start the workflow. As we know, SPD workflows cannot be started by anonymous or system accounts. It is as
if the task scheduler adds a bit of information that makes the SP2010 list think the information was updated by one of these accounts even though the field in the list for the item being updated shows the correct account.
HELP!!!
DHi,
The issue might be related to the script or schedule task settings your configured. You’d better check the settings.
For example, which option do you set to run the scheduled task? You may select “Run whether user is logged on or not” instead of “run only when user is logged on” as shown in this article:
http://blog.pointbeyond.com/2010/04/23/run-powershell-script-using-windows-server-2008-task-scheduler/
Hope it helps.

Satellite A - Battery/Power Indicator Missing from Task Bar
My battery/power indicator is missing from the task bar. When I attempt to turn it on, it's grayed out and I don't have the option to select it. I've checked the hidden icons functions, etc. When I searched on google, there were several fixes - but all are way out of my area of expertise.
Please help!Hi
Maybe you have installed an software which affected this Windows option.
It could be also a damage registry entry
Maybe you could clean the OS using CCleaner and repair the registry
Im not quite sure if it will help you but its worth a try -

Can summary tasks be prevented from toggling to "Manual Scheduled" Task Mode?
Hi gang,
Can summary tasks be prevented from toggling to "Manual Scheduled" Task Mode? I am using MS Project 2013 Professional, and have the Task Mode defaulted to "Auto Scheduled" for new tasks, and noticed that if I "accidentally"
enter some text in the summary task's Duration field that the text gets accepted and the Task Mode for that Summary Task toggles to "Manual Scheduled".
Perhaps should be my 1st question, is this normal behaviour?
Thanks in advance
\Spiro Theopoulos, Montreal, QC (Canada)Spiro,
I can confirm the same behavior you are seeing. I am not sure of the design decision based on this, and I do not think there is way to lock summary tasks to be always Autop Scheduled. Sorry!
