At.exe (Task Scheduler) Running On Vista Enterprise
Jul 3, 2009I've been reading a lot in the forum lately but now I have to post as well...I've been trying to get the old Task Scheduler (at.exe) running on Vista Enterprise to have scheduled jobs run indefinitively. Right now, I add a process via e.g.$> at 15:00 notepad.exe The job will start fine on the chosen time but will cease to run after 3 days (72 hours), killed by Vista/Task Scheduler. A look via Start -> All Programs -> Accessoires -> System Tools -> Task Scheduler reveals, that a flag is set "Stop the task if it runs longer than" to "3 days".
Googling for help, I found a KB entry from Microsoft, how to change the default ehaviour via a registry edit (A Task That Is Scheduled with the AT Command May Stop After 72 Hours Win XP/2000). This didn't do the trick on Vista Enterprise altough the registry section exists with the required parameter "AtTaskMaxHours"). Has anyone encountered similar issues on Vista or has anyone been able to overrule the default behaviour from 3 days to an "endless" job run?
Cannot Delete Task In Task Scheduler
Mar 9, 2010When I open task scheduler a pop up says "an error has occurred for task MCVsurveyReminder4 Error message the specified name is not vailid.". It repeats 4 time when i click OK and is followed by 4 of "an error has occurred for task MCVregistrationReminder4 Error message the specified name is not vailid". And finally by "an error occurred for task reminders - username Error message the specified account name is not valid"
I think it is something to do with a task to register my vaio or take part in a survey but I cannot get rid. It is in task scheduler local and there is no delete. I found a similar situation on the vaio site but cannot find now.Found it http://club.vaio.sony.eu/clubvaio/gb...7&lastpage=yes

Apr 16, 2009I want to automatically log off user after idle for 10 minutes. The problem appears to be that Vista won't go into an idle state. Lots of stuff running in background, and even my time clock on desktop I suppose keeps the PC from not idling.

May 7, 2008I have a vbs script that I use to copy files from my local drive to a network drive as a backup. The script works fine on its own (by double-clicking it or by running it from the command prompt). I created a scheduled task to have it run automatically, but it doesn't seem to work. It says that it completed successfully, but it didn't really do anything. Even if I select it in the Task Scheduler and then click "Run" in the Actions pane, it says it's status is "Running", but nothing is happening.

View 9 Replies View RelatedTask Scheduler Open 53 Error
May 23, 2010I'm not sure where to post this question. Will start here and if it's not here that I should post it, please tell me. My problem is this: when I open Task Scheduler, I get 53 pop-up error messages that various scheduled tasks no longer exist, and to get them back click on refresh. When I click on refresh, I get the same pop-up that it no longer exists. I identified all the folders that have the pop-up error messages, checked in
c:WindowsSystem32TasksMicrosoftWindows and then opened one of the folders that's generating the error message and verified that the file named in the task that is failing is indeed there. I went back into Task Scheduler and attempted to import the task, and then it tells me, "An error has occurred for task. Error Message. A task or folder with this name already exists." Someone's advice was then to just delete the
task. Why would I do that? These are default Windows tasks and I'm having problems with Windows Calendar's alerts not working, and I believe it's coming from the fact that Window's default tasks "no longer exist", even though they do! Can anyone stear me in the right direction? I've been all over the Internet for answers.
Fixing Task Scheduler Checkpoint
Mar 19, 2009What is the difference between a 'Manual: Restore Point' and a 'System: Scheduled Checkpoint' if any? Because I just had to tinker with the task in Task Scheduler to make it more to my liking I no longer get scheduled checkpoints after midnight if the computer is on--I don't get any scheduled checkpoint. Before I get into more detail of what I recall changing--I know I deleted the default multiple task to also create a scheduled checkpoint at boot or logon--I want to test whether anyone will tackle this problem with me or if it has been handled so many times over the years that the post will just be ignored?

Task Scheduler Starting Run Backgound
May 15, 2008I have a problem with the task scheduler. I have a stockpicking program (stockbrowser) that i want to run every hour from 8:00 till 18:00 on weekdays. So I defined a task as listed below, but the darn thing won't stop at 18:00. It keeps on running every hour weekdays, weekend, night and day. Now I know that Vista has good stamina, but I hate it when I am playing a game and it is starting to run in the background. what i am doing wrong? You would be forever in my mind. well at least a day or so.

Task Scheduler Fails To Operate Before Login
Oct 25, 2008I have been struggling with the task scheduler since upgrading to Vista. I used to have the XP task scheduler run Realplayer when my PC turned on via the bios RTC each morning, and play BBC Internet Radio. Worked fine, no problems. Vista however simply cannot do it. I have setup the Vista Task Scheduler to run a command line that I know works - I have tried dummy runs of the task scheduler when I have been logged in, and it goes no problem. I have also ticked "Run whether user is logged on or not" and entered my password when prompted.
When I login after Realplayer has failed to launch, the Task Scheduler history tab shows the following:Event 107, Task triggered on scheduler, etc, then above it, Error, event 101, Task Start Failed, Launch Failure.Most interestingly, in the failure details it reads:"Task Scheduler failed to start "Alarm Radio" task for user "ROTOMADave".
Additional Data: Error Value: 2147943726." What I find strange here is why the user is ROTOMADave (ROTOMA being the name of my Workgroup) when the user account is DAVES-DESKTOPDave.Could this be causing the problem, and if so how do I fix it? As an aside, the task will successfully run if I login to my PC before the scheduled task, then logout and wait at the login screen.

Is there anyone that could help me getting back my icons?
Create A Task
Apr 16, 2008I have been trying to figure out how to create a task in Task Scheduler.
I would like my machine to create a restore point daily. I am ok until the
Actions dialog.
Quote: When you create a task, you must specify the action that will occur when your task starts. Am I correct in assuming that I can create a task that will create a restore point
on a daily schedule for me?
As y'all are aware it wants me to specify the name of the program I want it to run.
I have no idea of the name of the program that creates restore points.
And I have no idea where to find the name.
I have been using this tutorial but I need the name of the program.

Jan 23, 2010Just about 1-2 weeks ago i was sitting comfortably in my living room gaming away when i noticed the game i was playing started having problems. In the mist of playing my keyboard locks up and mouse freezes and i can't move my character at all. I can't even alt+tab to task manager to fix the problem. I noticed the windows vista error sound play and then a few seconds later the game resumes normally.
I thought it was the particular game, but when i ditched it and started playing navyfield i noticed the same problem occurring there.
Anyone have any idea what could be causing this problem? I was thinking driver related problems or possible graphics since the problem never occurs outside of gaming. When the problem happens the green lights for numb lock etc.. quickly off and on. I have disabled trusted installer thinking it was lag durring game and that cause the information to pause....I have recently reformated my hard drived with the disk that came with the computer and did a full installation of windows updates.

Icon In Task Bar Has Red X
Jun 26, 2009I'm running Vista home premium and IE8. I connect to the internet with dial-up. When I'm connected the computer icon in the task bar has a red X on it. If I place the cursor on the icon it says "not Connected". If I right click on the icon and select connect to network the window comes up and shows my connection and states that I'm connected with the option button to disconnect. Why does my system think I'm not connected. Also before when I would close IE I would receive a window asking if I want to disconnect. I no longer get that window either. Having dial-up this is a pain do to the phone line being tied up and sometimes not knowing it.
