Windows 10: How To Run Task If *Not* Connected To Specific Network?

Hi all,

I'm looking to run a task that only triggers if *not* connected to a specific network/connected to any network *other* than the one specified (wanted to phrase the question both ways so that it's more likely to help other people out searching for a solution to the same problem!).

To specify, I use a program that automatically maps all available network drives if connected to my home network ('Network Drive Control'), but I want to trigger a second program to map a single remote drive over the cloud ('Asustor EZ Connect') if connected to any other network.

How do I go about doing this?

3.1 Running it hidden all the time means you will probably not see it at all - forcing it to be hidden will not let it be seen at all. It's worth trying if you want to.

3.1 I do not know how to "hide" the EZ window after it has started.
- The terminology is "hide" not "close".
- I know how to make it run hidden all the time.
- If you used the guidance in Make Task scheduler run a batch file minimised and with a specific icon - TenForums then I can suggest a small alteration to the vbs file involved so that it runs hidden all the time.
- If you did not use that guidance then please tell me how you are triggering the batch file so I can think about how to interupt it with a vbs file that achieves the run hidden objective.

3.2 But if EZ has an option in its settings to make it appear in the Notifications area [SysTray] then perhaps you can set that from the start.

Task Scheduler run task on specific network connection.Hol

Hi,

I would like to schedule a task to run only if a specific network connection is active.

there are a lot of connections available in the list under the option Start only if the following network connection is available

where are all this connection names stored? I haven't found it in register

is it possible to list these in cmd or powershell?

how to maintain this list? remove old entries.

how to check the currently available network connections from this list?

thx in advance for any help
