Windows 2008 R2 server Scheduled Task not working

Question

I have a batch file that writes to a file, when I click it manually it works. However when I have it set in a scheduled task it will create the file but it will not write to the file.
How can I fix this?

Answer 1

Hi,
1.   
Please try to make sure the
Task Scheduler: Service is running.
For details: run 'services.msc', Scroll down to the 'Task Scheduler' service, Check the 'Startup Type' column, The 'Startup Type' should be set to "Automatic",
Check the 'Status' column.
If the service is started, it will list 'Started' in the 'Status' column.
2.   
Please try to make sure Group Policy preventing the user to run the task.
3.   
Please try to make sure UAC has been disabled.
4.   
Please try to enabled the
policy Inclusion list for moderate risk file types, and fill ‘.bat’ in the blank.
For details:
User Configuration -> Administrator Templates -> Windows Components -> Attachment Manager
In addition, please try to refer
this to troubleshoot.
If the issue persist, please try to collect more information for further analyze:
