    task scheduler setting affects script RESULT


    Pro 20H2

    Script always performs without problem.
    Every line in script is solid and happy.

    I, an Administrator, own script file.
    Administrators and System have full control of it. No inheritance.

    Task does nothing more than to run the script.
    Testing of task: I manually Run it in Task Scheduler.

    Script does nothing more than to report existence of N:\ . IF EXIST....
    N: (mapped letter) exists, permanently; and its resource always is visible and
    accessible and responsive to user (myself).

    The following is what hurts my head :
    Report is yes when task is configured to "Run only when user is logged on";
    report is no when task is configured to "Run whether user is logged on or not".

    :)

    Task Scheduler doesn't run script

    Hi,

    Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.

    Are you able to run the script manually? If yes, does it do what it is intended to?

    Disable the UAC temporarily.

    Make sure that the Task scheduler
    service is running.

    Press ‘Win+R’.

    Type Services.msc.

    Locate the service Task scheduler
    and make sure that it is in running state.

    Go to the Conditions
    tab in task scheduler and make sure that no such condition is set which could block the task from running.

    Enable All Tasks History in Task scheduler and run the scheduled task.

    Refresh the task scheduler and check if you find any error message/code for any step in the task run.

    Also try with disabling Run whether the user is logged on or not
    option and see if the script runs.

    Hope it helps.

    Task Scheduler doesn't run script

    Hey Microsoft Community,

    I'm trying to create a task in Task Scheduler that runs a specific script. The issue is that when the task runs (whether I do it manually or if it's scheduled), the script doesn't actually get executed. I know that the script works, and I have tried using
    both .EXE and .BAT scripts. I have set the task to run whether I'm logged in or not, using Highest Privileges, from my Administrator account; I have Full Access to the script file and the directory it's in; I have tried putting the directory it's in into the
    "Start in" field; I have tried opening Task Scheduler as an Administrator. Every time the task runs successfully, but the thing my script is supposed to do isn't done, from which I am inferring that the script doesn't get executed. The script isn't using any
    network connections. It's also not being blocked by my antivirus, I checked by temporarily turning it off.

    System info:

    Windows 10 x64 version 1803

    Thanks in advance!
