Scheduled Task .bat file 0x1 Error

[Guest Rick Williams]

I was having trouble getting a scheduled task to run on Windows Server 2008

that was calling a .bat file to run. Specifically, I was getting a 0x1 error

whenever the scheduled task ran. The solution was to type in the path to the

..bat file in the Start In(optional): in the edit action window. You get

there by pressing the Edit button under the Actions tab. Here is an example

path you'd type in if your .bat file is located under the temp folder at the

root of drive c:

 

c:\temp\bat

 

I wanted to report this solution because it took me several days to discover

this solution and I wanted to save someone else the trouble.
