Guest Paul Posted October 9, 2008 Posted October 9, 2008 Hi, We have problems with scheduled tasks failing on windows 2000. A reboot solves this but we cannot get to the bottom of the problem. It's Sp4 and there's no Human Interface Devices service. I've tried making jobs with the AT command, assigning runas service and bath permissions and pretty much worked through a lot of search results. It seems to be about every 7 days it fails. Can anyone shed light on this? There is nothing in event logs (app and system). Task log attached, job names aren't actually xxxxxxxxxx lol. "xxxxxxxxxx.job" (runxxxxx.bat) Started 06/10/2008 23:45:00 "xxxxxxxxx.job" (runxxxxx.bat) Finished 06/10/2008 23:49:14 Result: The task completed with an exit code of (0). "Caxxxxx.job" (Caxxxxx.sql) Started 06/10/2008 23:50:00 Started indirectly, through a shortcut; task finish will not be logged.

Guest Paul Posted October 13, 2008 Posted October 13, 2008 Re: Task Scheduler 0x80 errors It's various copy commands, batch files to copy out files and copy in a new blank file.

Guest Pegasus \(MVP\) Posted October 13, 2008 Posted October 13, 2008 Re: Task Scheduler 0x80 errors Fine. You now need to include some diagnostics in your batch file, e.g. like so: @echo off echo. >> c:\test.txt echo %date% %time% Start of batch job >> c:\test.txt copy . . . 1>>c:\test.txt 2>>& echo %time% Label 2 >> c:\test.txt xcopy . . . 1>>c:\test.txt 2>>& echo %time% Label 3 >> c:\test.txt robocopy . . . 1>>c:\test.txt 2>>& etc. When the job fails, have a look at c:\test.txt. It will tell you what you need to know.

Guest Paul Posted October 13, 2008 Posted October 13, 2008 Re: Task Scheduler 0x80 errors I've added this in, however it doesn't actually run the batch file as i had a mkfile command to create a file as the first line in the batch job. I'll monitor and see. Thanks "Pegasus (MVP)" <I.can@fly.com.oz> wrote in message news:eTM7C8RLJHA.4324@TK2MSFTNGP05.phx.gbl... > Fine.

Yes the account has a password, however resetting it and doing so accordingly in the scheduled task it still fails at 0x80. A reboot sorts it every time though.
