Guest Oliver Posted October 27, 2008 Posted October 27, 2008 The following bat script (as a file.bat) which I put on a task scheduler no longer works (W2K service pack 4). Shutdown.exe /L /R /T:120 /C How can I fix this? The shutdown has to work on each Saturday to refresh the server memory. Also, as a related solution to the above problem, how I can get the event viewer to email me an alert when it triggers certain ID code? Our main problem is that the server shutdowns expectedly and I suspect it is the event viewer getting full. So I am hoping someone will have the solutions. Oliver

Guest Dave Patrick Posted October 27, 2008 Posted October 27, 2008 Re: Reboot command no longer works in Task Scheduler What is in the system log at the time machine restarts? Control Panel|Administrative Tools|Event Viewer|"file"|Action|Properties the default is to overwrite events older than 7 days and max log file size of 512 kbytes. You can change to "Overwrite Events as needed" "The shutdown has to work on each Saturday to refresh the server memory." It would be better to locate and fix the leaking process. Take a snapshot of Task Manager|Processes just after startup. Then check it again later to see what process is ballooning. Also take a look at Task Manager Processes|Mem Delta a consistently positive value usually indicates a memory leak. This tool may also help. http://www.microsoft.com/technet/sysinternals/Utilities/ProcessExplorer.mspx. -- Regards, Dave Patrick ....Please no email replies - reply in newsgroup.

Guest Oliver Posted October 27, 2008 Posted October 27, 2008 Re: Reboot command no longer works in Task Scheduler Hi, yes this is the message. "0x80070569: Logon failure: the user has not been granted the requested logon type at this computer. Verify that the task's Run-as name and password are valid and try again." Unfortunately, this is the main Domain Controller and the local account setup is not used, rather, it's through the Active Directory on this DC. What options do I have?

Guest Oliver Posted October 27, 2008 Posted October 27, 2008 Re: Reboot command no longer works in Task Scheduler Hi, for the system log - I've changed this to overwriting events older than 7 days already. So I am hoping this will fix the problem. However, I want to find out if there is a free faciliy from Microsoft where I can request for an email notification if a certain ID is triggered. Example, on my Exchange Server event viewer log file, if there are IDs such as 8250, 8026, 2102, then I would like a program to notify me via email. Is there such a facility? The reason for this is that when the domain controller shuts down unexpectedly, all domain servers are affected, the Exchange Server event viewer log file generates these ID codes. So if these happens, an email alert will enable me to respond quickly. Does this make sense?

Guest Oliver Posted October 27, 2008 Posted October 27, 2008 Re: Reboot command no longer works in Task Scheduler Hi Meinolf, It is a domain wide administrator account. I cannot setup a local admin account because the server only allows Active Directory (from what I understand). If your 2nd question refers to a domain user, then I can tell you I am using a domain wide admin or just domain admin account. So I need to find out a bit more about Logon as a batch job.

Guest Meinolf Weber Posted October 27, 2008 Posted October 27, 2008 Re: Reboot command no longer works in Task Scheduler Hello Oliver, User rights assignment are set with a GPO located under Computer configuration, windows settings, security settings,local policies.

Guest Dave Patrick Posted October 27, 2008 Posted October 27, 2008 Re: Reboot command no longer works in Task Scheduler What errors are present in the system log at the time machine reboots? Do you have a handle on what process is memory leaking? You can script it. http://www.microsoft.com/technet/scriptcenter/resources/qanda/aug05/hey0816.mspx Fixing the memory leak and blue screen stop error makes the best sense to me. -- Regards, Dave Patrick ....Please no email replies - reply in newsgroup.
