Task Scheduler

Posted: 07-29-2003, 11:36 AM
I have 31 computers, I have them all set to push data to
me through an FTP program. I setup the scheduled task on
one of those computers and wanted to take the file from
that one computer and just copy and paste it in the
proper directory of the other computer, so they can all
stay consistent.
I am trying to understand and locate where Microsoft has
the files and where I could find the only scheduled task
file that I have on the system so I could do this.
Thank you,

Art Moler

You can copy the Task from the WINDOWS\TASKS folder but it may not run
on other machines unless you re-typed the password for the current
user account.

Can Task Scheduler be configured to shut down an open
application at a designated time? I have a
synchronization program that runs every night but if
Outlook is still open it will not back up that data
because the file is still open.

make a batch file to kill outlook (taskkill outlook.exe)
and then wait for how ever long it takes to do the sync
(sleep 400) and execute outlooks executable (exe
path\outlook.exe).

How do you make a scheduled task (an application in this
case) issue keyboard commands to answer questions, etc.
to get to the point the app can actually run its course?

Thanks

The Task Scheduler that comes with Windows cannot do this. You could
write a VBS script for this, but it may be easier to find a more
powerful scheduler.

I want to run a certain task every hour all day long using
Task Scheduler. I have other tasks that run successfully
from TS, but this one does not run for some reason. The
log file shows nothing concerning the task. Apparently,
TS doesn't attempt to start the task.

I set up TS to run the task every hour starting at 00:00
for 24 hours. I may boot my computer multiple times each
day. I always shut down and power off in the evening.

I can run the task manually from TS and it runs correctly.

What?

I am trying to set up a scheduled task but it keeps giving me errors
saying the account info cannot be found. I set up the account info but
do not use a password on my account and it gives me an error saying
the task will not run if I do not put in a password.

How do you set up a scheduled task if you do not have a password on
the account?? I do not use a password when I log in as I am the only
one using the computer and wanted to get away from having to enter a
password each time I log in. Any ideas??

If you don't want to password your account then you can create a separate
account with which to run your tasks with.

If you boot directly to the Desktop, then..

TweakUI for XP
Logon
AutoLogon
[Y] Log on automatically at startup
[Set Password]

If TweakUI is not installed on your system, then download it from
http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/p.../powertoys.asp
Note: V2.10.0.0 needs at least Windows XP SP 1
