Guest BenDVaughn Posted February 29, 2008 Posted February 29, 2008 My scheduled tasks aren't running when the task's assigned user (admin level) is logged out despite the fact the "Run only when logged in" option is not selected. If I manually run the task it works correctly, being logged in as the same user that the tasks should be running under. Also, if I am logged in at the time the scheduled tasks will run themselves correctly automatically. There are older tasks that continue to work properly but they use the same permissions as the ones that aren't which doesn't make much sense to me. It's a simple copy procedure and at first I was using NTBackup but when it didn't work I thought I might simplify it by making a batch file to do the job. When looking at the SchedLgU.txt log the exit code is "0" for NTBackups whether or not it actually performs the backup and the batch files get a "0" when working correctly or a "1" when they don't. Any help would be greatly appreciated! I've tried basic steps like deleting the tasks and recreating them but with no success.

Your task will generate three logs: - An entry in the Event Viewer - An entry in the logger of the Task Scheduler - A ntbackup log file As a first step I recommand that you examine all three entries. They are likely to tell you what's going on. The next step is to ascertain whether the task runs or not. It is a common mistake to assume that it does not when in fact it does. Adding the following code to the beginning of the batch file you invoke will tell you for sure: @echo off echo Job start on %date% at %time% under %UserName% >> c:\Log.txt
