Windows 2008 Server SFTP Scheduled Tasks fails to execute sftp commands

I have a scheduled task that pulls in Human Resources data using sftp public / private key combination.  It was associated with user who has recently left the company and their account has been disabled. Everything I've read
so far leads me to believe that I need to establish the sftp connection and create a registry entry for another user...   I don't want this application to be dependent on any particular user.   I've stored the key set on a share that is
open to any system administrator on the server and created a batch job similar to:
Del oldFile.txt
"psftp.exe <user>@<server> -i <PrivateKeyLocation> -b <FtpComands>". 
The old file gets deleted fine via scheduled task or manual, but the new file only gets pulled when running it directly from my account. 
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

The list of ftp commands that you are passing in to psftp.exe may need user specific resources (for example, a mapped drive). But it's difficult to say though without looking at what the psftp commands do. If the available commands for psftp.exe
are not flexible enough, you might want to look at other solutions like Sysax FTP Automation.

  • Windows Server Backup scheduled task run successfully but backup do not start (not running) on Windows Server 2012

    Hi,
    A backup job has been setup on Windows Server 2012 (Platform: Win32NT; ServicePack: ; Version: 6.2.9200.0; VersionString : Microsoft Windows NT 6.2.9200.0) via Windows Backup Software UI (Local Backup 1.0).
    It is appearing as a scheduled task "\Microsoft\Windows\Backup\Microsoft-Windows-WindowsBackup" belonging to user 'nt authority\system' in task scheduler.
    The problem is that the Backup job never start despite the scheduled task running and completing successfully (when run automatically or manually)!
    Would you be able to explain why and assist in resolving that issue?
    Here is what we know:
    When the backup is run manually via the Windows Backup Software UI, it works fine.
    When the backup is run via command line (as set in schedule task) in a cmd command prompt (as local/domain 'administrator' or as 'nt authority\system' which is possible by running command prompt via 'PsExec.exe -i -s cmd'), something like "%windir%\System32\wbadmin.exe
    start backup -templateId:{f11eb3aa-74e7-4ff4-a57b-d8d567ee3f77} -quiet", it works fine.
    If you manually run the preset scheduled task while logged in as administrator, the task run and complete successfully but the backup job does not start.
    Idem if you schedule task is run automatically at scheduled time.
    The schedule task run and complete successfully but the backup job does not start.
    It is confirmed by running the following in a command prompt as 'nt authority\system':
    schtasks /run /tn "\Microsoft\Windows\Backup\Microsoft-Windows-WindowsBackup"
    SUCCESS: Attempted to run the scheduled task "\Microsoft\Windows\Backup\Microsoft-Windows-WindowsBackup".
    Despite success result, the Backup job does not start running...
    No errors or warning appears anywhere in Event Logs (Microsoft > Windows > Backup or Task Scheduler) nor in the scheduled task History tab. The schedule task complete successfully but no Backup job is run...
    If scheduled task automatically set by Windows Backup software is duplicated (copied) and set manually it runs fine as 'administrator' and as 'nt authority\system' (subject that 'nt authority\system' is added to the 'Backup Operators' AD group).
    Here is an export of the current pre-set schedule task, is there any settings that need to be changed to make it works?

    Thank you in advance for your feedback.

    Once again, the issue is not to run the backup manually from the command line but to have it run via the scheduled task setup by the Windows Backup software.
    By default, the schedule task is to be run as NT Authority\System, and when run under this account, the backup does not start (even though account is member of Backup Operators) and job can manually be run via elevated command prompt. This is not a normal
    behavior and constitute a major bug in Windows Server 2012.
    From my understanding the NT Authority\System account is a built-in account from Windows that should by default be part of the Administrators group (built-in) even though it does not explicitly appears like it in AD by default.
    This account shall have by default Administrators rights and Backup Operators rights (via the Administrators group) without being explicitly added to those groups (http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-gb/library/windows/desktop/ms684190%28v=vs.85%29.aspx). By design
    it is supposed to be the most powerful account which has unrestricted access to all local system resources. If that is not the case (as it seems) then this would constitute a major bug in Windows Server 2012 edition.
    As said previously and as you confirmed, currently by default NT Authority\System on Windows 2012 server cannot start backup manually via an elevated command prompt unless it is manually added to Backup Operators (or Administrators) group. But wouldn't that
    constitute a bug of Windows Server 2012?
    Our server has not yet been restarted since I added NT Authority\System account to the Administrators group explicitly manually so I cannot yet confirmed it would sort the issue. Indeed it is heavily in use so cannot easily be restarted. Will confirm when
    done.
    We also have an additional problem where after a while of last reboot, part of the Exchange ECP can no longer be properly loaded in the web browser due to compilation error (compilation is done via NT Authority\System account which seems to no longer have
    sufficient right to compile .NET code). What is strange is that it works at first and then stop working at some point... I am hopeful that adding NT Authority\System to the Administrators group would sort this issue as well but once again, that shall not be
    needed!!!
    Could a Windows Server 2012 update introduced some security policy changes or else that prevent NT Authority\System to have full power?

  • Windows 2008 Server R2 - Service Pack 1 Failed to install

    A few nights ago I deployed Service Pack 1 for Windows 2008 Server R2 x64.  The update failed to install after 3 attempts using the Windows Update manager.  After the third time I checked the system properties which states that SP1 is
    installed, yet it never appeared to install successfully as my other server machine had a prompt stating the SP was installed successfully. 
    In update history it shows the 3 failed attempts with no successes.  This morning I began running into memory errors which are impacting my 2 VM Ware sessions which in turn lock up my virtual machine so I am going to attempt to remove and reinstall
    to see if this corrects my issue.  By the way what triggered the install of SP1 is random reboots of my server.  This is that unknown Kernal Power Error which I have yet to resolve.  Some months my server randomly reboots one time and other
    months 4-5x.  That is neither here nor there, the point of this discussion is to resolve SP1. 
    I have tried to remove SP1 by means of Control Panel, Programs and Features, Installed Updates.  So it shows the that the SP1 installed in multiple areas yet in the install history no signs of successful installation.
    When trying to uninstall from Program and Features/Installed Updates section in control panel it cycles through like its going to uninstall, but after several minutes I receive the following error      Windows Update     
    An error has occurred. Not all of the updates were successfully uninstalled.
    When trying to uninstall from the command prompt (as administrator) "wusa.exe /uninstall /kb:976932" I get the following popup            Windows Update Standalone Installer        
    Installer encountered an error: 0x80073712       The component store has been corrupted.
    Now if I try and install through the network installer file name "windows6.1-KB976932-X64.exe" I get "Windows Server 2008 R2 Service Pack 1 is already installed"
    I performed these steps in the order mentioned which I came across this "System Update Readiness Tool for Windows Server 2008 R2 x64 Edition (KB947821) [February 2011]" After applying this hotfix I went through the same steps as mentioned above with the
    exact same results.
    It is unfortuante I did not come across this hotfix before I attempted install SP1 as it appears as if this would have prepared the system for SP1 installation.  Currently I am in limbo with a corrupt installation of SP1 and so far no means of uninstalling
    short of a reinstallation or repair of the OS which I am not willing to do at this point in time.
    If anyone has any suggestions please chime in and let me know what I can try.  Thanks for all the support and hopefully this post will help others in the future.

    Maybe a little bit late, but I was running almost same problem on a exchange server.
    Scenario:
    First attempt to Update the windows patches - excluded the patches from the last 2 months.
    I was kind a new to this, and didnt noticed that Windows Service pack must have at least 8GB free disk space.(Recommended)
    So the C:\ partition had less then 5 GB free disk space, and I started the updates.
    All went well until Windows SP1 begun running to downloading and installing.
    When the installer noticed there wasnt enough space, It stopped, it give the status Failed, en when scaling up the C:\partition with another 10GB more space, the C:\partition had 18GB free disk space.
    Tried to Call up a new attemp to install the SP1... but with no succes to start the SP1 installation...
    I tried to reinstall but the windows update didnt get offered again to install again or resume or anything to try again...
    Maybe...it is handy for Mickysoft, to check before installing, so the install wont get corrupted, and can install when c:\ partition has enough disk space.
    What was the trick:
    1) Stop the windows Update Service
    2) C:\Windows\SoftwareDistribution\DataStore - Delete content
    3) C:\Windows\SoftwareDistribution\Download - Delete content
    4) Windows update Service check if its runs again
    5) Check again for windows updates - Check if Windows Server Service pack 1 is offered, and install reboot and youre good to go.
    It works for me :) hopefully after 3 years you had found a solution, but since I was poping for a solution and found this article with no solution.
    I tought it will be hopefull for others to respond to this article with a solution.
    Kind regards,

  • Windows 2008 server OS authenticated user keeps failing

    I have a new server that has windows 2008 server installed, 64-bit. I've installed oracle 11gR2 64-bit and have created my database. Now I need to create two oracle accounts that are OS authenticated and I can't seem to get this right. I've set os_authent_prefix in my spfile and I've created the user (example) OS$<domain>\<username> in the database. In Windows, the account name equals <username> and that account belongs to Administrators and ora_dba groups. I've tried creating the oracle user with <domain> in caps and lowercase, but both fail. On the server, the domain is all lower case.
    So in SQL> create user "OS$my.domain.mil\user1" identified externally; (user created)
    Grant connect to "OS$my.domain.mil\user1";
    Log out of sqlplus, pull up command prompt in Windows 2008 server as 'user1' and type in "sqlplus /"
    Invalid username or password.
    What am I missing here? Any help appreciated.
    SA feedback: "Finally, Windows Server 2008 R2 Operating System has a tighter security scheme than that of previous Windows OS.
    Also, it would be helpful if I remove the AD domain controller role from this server. This may require reinstallation of this server (worst case). Let me know when I can do this so you can proceed with your configuration."

    Hello Ricardo,
    You may want to reference SAP Note 1054740 - SAP System Installation on Windows Server 2008
    and ensure you are on SAP Netweaver 7.0 SR3 or above, and it will also tell you if the product you are installing is supported in Windows 2008 Server.
    For database and SAP product combinations that are already
    supported by SAP to run on Windows Server 2008, see the Product
    Availability Matrix at: http://service.sap.com/pam
    Also check the following: in Regedit.
    SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\gpsvc
    Right click on it and select "Permissions" in the context menu.
    Provide "Full Control" for sidadm
    Does the installation user has full administrative rights and belongs
    to the group of LocalAdministrators and to Global Administrators also
    when you are doing a domain installation ?
    Please ensure the user <sid>adm has the access rights
    to change the file system permission.

  • GPP Scheduled Task Fails in Group Policy Modeling depending on DC

    We have multiple domain controllers running at a 2003 functional level.
    We have 1 DC running Server 2003 x86 SP2 and the rest run Server 2008 (maybe R2)
    I created a GPO that includes a Scheduled Task Group Policy Preference under Computer Configuration.
    In order to test this I used Group Policy Modeling in the GPMC on a 2008 R2 Machine where I am editing Group Policy.
    If I run the modeling (perform the simulation on the 2003 DC it fails. (Note I am modeling the GPO for a different computer, not the 2003 SP2 DC, I am running the modeling for a Workstation)
    Information from the Component Status on the Summary Tab of the Modeling Report
    Component Name Status 
    Group Policy Infrastructure Success 
    EFS recovery Success (no data) 
    Group Policy Scheduled Tasks Failed 
    Group Policy Scheduled Tasks failed due to the error listed below and failed to log resultant set of policy information.
    Additional information may have been logged. Review the application event log on the domain controller on which the simulation was run for events between 2/28/2014 10:07:36 AM and 2/28/2014 10:07:36 AM. 
    Registry Success 
    Security Success 
    Info on the Settings Tab of the Modeling Report below.
    An error has occurred while collecting data for Scheduled Tasks.
    The following errors were encountered: 
    An unknown error occurred while data was gathered for this extension. Details: Invalid class  
    If I run the modeling using a 2008 DC to perform the simulation it works fine.
    Per the instructions on the Summary Tab regarding the scheduled task failure I look at the event log on the 2003 domain controller and this is what i find.
    The event I get on the 2003 DC is 8196 and I will place the details below.
    Event Type:   Error
    Event Source:           Group Policy Scheduled Tasks
    Event Category:        Disk
    Event ID:       8196
    Date:              2/27/2014
    Time:             4:48:47 PM
    User:              NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM
    Computer:     <computername>
    Description:
    The client-side extension caught the unhandled exception '0xC0000005' inside: 'threadEntry : client main' See trace file for more details. For more information, see Help and Support Center at http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/events.asp.
    So, should I be concerned that this is failing on the 2003 DC, does this mean that if my workstations authenticate to my 2003 DC that the preference will not process?
    I was reading that in 2003 client side extensions were not there and can be installed, would this make the modeling succeed?
    How do I get verified, I tried to post screenshots, but I could not. :(

    Hi Jonathan,
    As you have found the reason, I want to confirm whether the issue has been fixed.
    In fact, for Windows Server 2003 to apply or process Group Policy Preferences settings, we must install client-side extensions of GPP for Windows Server 2003.
    Although this is not related to this case, for your information, if our clients are Windows XP or Windows Vista, to use GPP, we must install client-side extensions for these
    workstations respectively.
    Regarding GPP, the following article can be referred to for more information.

  • Error connecting to the SAP SRV on Windows 2008 Server platform

    Hi All
    We have a problem with one of our clients they bought a new sbs windows server 2008 and we loaded sql 2005 and sap b1 SP01 PL07.
    When we did the SBO install we experience connection issues and we created odbc connection on the server using named pipes and tcp/ip (used both server name and Ip address).
    We also configured the server in configuration manager and we managed to login and solved the slow system connection issue. We also created odbc connection on the client machines. (Machine are on a workgroup and users have administration access on all machines),we also installed native client on all machines.
    After the first batch of client installs we managed to have connection, they were other computers which were left out during the first client install and now the client want to do the remaining machines connected to SBO. On every machine that we install now we get the same error :-
    *Connection failed:
    SQLState:'08001'
    SQl Server error:10060

    Hi Eric,
    yes we are using Windows 2008 SBS for the SAP EHP4 FOR SAP ERP 6.0/NW7.01 installation.
    we tried to create the key but it says access is denied.
    Actual thing is we got the server with Windows 2008 server 64 bit SBS (standard FE) with Domain Controller (DC) configuration.
    We have removed the DC using dcpromo to convert into Wokgroup and tried the SAP installation.
    I hope you got the idea and please let me know any further suggestions or it is the problem with the license.
    Thanks & Regards,
    Prabhu Reddy.

  • Windows 2008 Server R2 & SAP Business One

    Does anyone have any experience, good or bad, with SAP Business One and Terminal Service on Windows 2008 Server R2?  We are finding a number of issues with this configuration and we are looking for any feedback that is out there.
    Here is the situation - our customer is running SAP Business One v2007 SP01 PL09 Hotfix4 on a Windows 2008 Server R2 machine.  All users (15 max) access SBO via Terminal Service to this machine, which also holds the databases (SQL Server 2005).  The machine currently has 20GB of RAM.
    What we are finding is:
    1) When any process related to SBO (SBO core or add-ons) consumes some portion of memory, none of that memory is ever released back to the O/S until SBO is completely closed.  So over the course of a day each user ends up simply consuming more and more memory as forms are opened for transactions.  While we do see this in Windows 2003 Server to some extent, at least some memory is released when a given form is closed.
    2) Once the system hits a point where around 75% of RAM is consumed the users start seeing application "hangs" and are forced to manually terminate SBO (via Task Manager) and restart.  There doesn't seem to be any paging or use of virtual memory (if my terms are right) in use.
    3) If the system is busy and a new window/form is opened the new window immediately (within one or two seconds) presents the "Not Responding" message on the new window.  Depending on the circumstances the application is simply waiting for resources and will continue opening normally.
    I would appreciate feedback from anyone who has experience with Windows 2008 Server R2; and especially using it for Terminal Services.  My personal feeling is that it is a platform that should be avoided but we would certainly like to hear what other folks have to say.

  • Windows 2008 Server License Key not working on VirtualBox

    I have a validated licensed copy of Windows 2008 Server and I need to load it on a Virtual machine (I am running Oracle VirtualBox). When I had the server running on a hardware based server it worked fine. The license key activated and it worked. Now when
    I load it onto the VirtualBox solution it fails. It will take it when I run the manual command but will not show my server as activated. This is for my private use only (internal home LAN) but I would prefer to have the activation be correct since I use this
    setup to help keep fresh on Windows 2008 servers while being on a Linux OS with a VM software loaded.  What can I do to have this server activate correctly under the VirtualBox?
    Thanks,
    Tom

    Hi Tom,
    Base on my experience, after we convert a physical computer system to virtualize environment we need to reactive it, with MAK active method we need keep this vm to connect to
    internet and with KMS method please confirm this vm can communicate with your KMS server.

  • Error 0x80070490 trying to launch VM without SCVMM on Windows 2008 Server R2

    Hello everybody,
    I get a weird issue trying to launch a VM.
    This is the current situation : I get a server, Windows 2008 R2. I've only install Hyper-V and Failover Cluster. I can create a VM but when I try to launch it, I get an error message into a popup (translated from french) : "The application encountered
    an error during modification of 'vm_name' state". "'vm_name' could not be initialize". "Could not initialize machine remoting system. Error 'Element not found'. (0x80070490). "Could not find a usable certificate. Error: 'Element not found'. (0x80070490)."
    So, I'm unable to launch my vm's.
    I'm not using SCVMM yet. I want to resolve this issue before.
    I read some articles and posts about SCVMM certificate issue but I'm not using SCVMM.
    More fun, I read articles about this issue but on Windows 2008 Server (not R2) : problem resolved by a fix, unapplicable on my Windows 2008 R2 :)
    I'm totalyblocked and ain't got no idea how I can resolve it.
    If someone gets I idea ...
    Cheers,
    Nicolas

    Environment: Windows 8.1 in an Active Directory Domain (2012R2) with MS Certficates Services support NAP/Health Registry, etc.

     Under the Select Account to Manager, select Hyper-V  Image Management Service
     Complete the Snap-In Wizard
     Expand the Certificates under Personal Category
     Notice the certificate generated has been created ‘for the future’ (assuming you’re suppose to revert the date & time to 2010, the certificate should display as invalid because it was created at 2013)
     Delete the Certificate(s)

  • Install and uninstall of Oracle 11g R2 on Windows 2008 Server

    Hi,
    I installed Oracle 11g R2 and set up a database on Windows 2008 Server following the steps in the Installation Guide and it was successful. After uninstalling the product and doing a re-install, the step to configure the Net Configuration Assistant fails with the following msg.
    Failed to allocate port(s) in the specified range(s) for the following process(es): JMS
    [5540-5559], RMI [5520-5539], Database Control [5500-5519], EM Agent [3938] | [1830-1849]
    Also, when I ran "netca.bat" and tried to reconfigure the Listener, it indicated the default port 1521 is being used. I ran "netstat -an" and do not see the port listed.
    Questions:
    What is the best way to check if something was leftover from my previous install of Oracle that is using the default ports?
    What do I need to do to ensure a re-install is successful?
    Uninstalling Oracle -
    1.     Log in as the Administrator.
    2.     Stop all Oracle Services.
    3.     From a cmd window, run C:\app\oracle\product\11.2.0\dbhome_1\deinstall\deinstall.bat.
    4.     Delete the C:\app\oracle directory.
    5.     Remove the following registry entries as per http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E11882_01/relnotes.112/e16777/toc.htm:
    HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\EventLog\Application\Oracle Services for MTS

    HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\EventLog\Application\Oracle.<SID>
    HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\EventLog\Application\Oracle.VSSWriter.<SID>
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Oracle11

    Johan, after I uninstalled Oracle, I checked to ensure there were no remaining Oracle services remaining.
    Srini, below are the steps I followed to uninstall Oracle. In step 3, I just ran deinstall.bat without any parameters and provided required information as prompted. Note, I uninstalled using the Administrator user and not the "oracle" account that I used to install Oracle.

  • Install error 11gR2 on Windows 2008 Server R2

    Hello,
    I have a question about an installation error I received on Windows 2008 Server R2 while trying to install the 11g R2 on an test machine. I had downloaded both cd's and extracted them and copied the first cd into an new directory and then tried to copy the second cd into this directory, unfortunately I didn't saw that this step failed. As I started the installation I first didn't saw any error, later the installer brought some exceptions due to missing files (oc4j, context).
    I then copied the second cd again (this time it worked) and continued with the installer until it finished.
    My question is now, as there are some files missing, do I have the possibility to reinstall the software and which is the best way? Must i first uninstall the software and install it again or does it work if i start the installation (i select only software) again selecting the existing ORACLE_HOME so that the installation is overwritten.
    I hope you can help me with an solution for this.
    Many thanks in advance to all for your help.
    Regards
    Luis

    Hi,
    If in one oracle home you have a successful installation, oracle will automatically deny the installation of a new software in this existing home. If you have a filed installation in some oracle home, then later you can install in the same directory as oracle does not consider this failed installation as a proper oracle home hence it overwrites everything. Even you can't uninstall this failed installation because as i told you that this is not considered an oracle home. but, better way is to run installer and see whether you have an oracle home registered in the directory in which you want to install again and if you find one, then do a deinstall. If you don't see this directory as oracle home, then still better to delete what ever is inside this directory and do the installation.
    Under current scenario, your installation is fine and you should not worry.
