Windows 10: 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

:)

 

Schedules task has slow network transfers?

I have a bat file that I use to backup all my data from one computer to another. They are on a gigabit network.

When I run the bat file normally(by double clicking it), it will transfer fast. Network untilization is usually in the 40-50% range.


Now, if I schedule a task to run the bat file, it transfers extremely slow. Network utilization is usually in the 2-3% range.

It takes multiple hours to finish the backup if it runs as a task and there is any new data.

Are scheduled tasks limitted in some why that might be causing this?

This is Vista x64.

"Task scheduler service is not available."?!

I am having the same problem after the Anniversary Update. Same as meimeiriver2,
where it is just 1 task. Task Scheduler is certainly running, as many other tasks execute normally as before the upgrade.

I narrowed down the problem a little bit. This particular task was set with the condition to "Start only if the following network connection is available" and to a specific network. When
I change that condition to "Any connection", the task runs normally again on its usual schedule. Change the setting back, and the "Task scheduler service is not available..." error returns.

I have tried an assortment of the usual Task Schedule problem solutions: Run only when user is logged on (both variations), Configure for... previous Windows versions, making sure the password
is correctly set, etc. Nothing makes a difference if a specific network is selected.

Being suspicious, I check similar tasks on 2 other systems - they all have the identical problem. And changing to "Any connection" allows the task to run again. Problem is that the specific
network is a required condition for this particular Task. So I really want to find a work-around.

Any ideas or suggestions?

One suspicion: is Task Scheduler mistakenly trying to run the task as if on a remote system?
