Running a VB Script File Using Windows 10 Task Scheduler

You can invoke VB scripts through the Task Scheduler, same as batch files or .exe files. What problem do you actually have? What is the script you run? Is it supposed to be interactive?

There is little difference between cscript.exe and wscript.exe. When you run cscript.exe you will open a black Command Processor window (cmd.exe). With wscript.exe you won't. Furthermore, the instruction wscript.echo will do different things:

• Under cscript.exe: Write a line of text in the Command Processor window.
• Under wscript.exe: Generate message box.

This difference is important for scripts being invoked by the Task Scheduler.

 

Running a VB Script File Using Windows 10 Task Scheduler

Here is my VB Script code:

Option Explicit    

Dim objExcel, strPathExcel

Set objExcel = CreateObject("Excel.Application")

strPathExcel = "C:\Users\John J\Documents\Great Oaks\2018 Season\Handicap Test.xlsm"

objExcel.DisplayAlerts = False

objExcel.Workbooks.Open strPathExcel

objExcel.Application.Run "'Handicap Test.xlsm'!HandicapRunTrial"

objExcel.ActiveWorkbook.SaveAs strPathExcel

objExcel.Workbooks.close

objExcel.Application.Quit

WScript.Quit

In Task Scheduler Library, created a folder called "GOCC"

I than hit "Create Basic Task", name it and give brief description/

From the "Trigger" menu, I give a start date and time.

From the "Action" menu, I hit "Start", and browse for my vbs file. I click on it and the full path command is listed. The task is listed in the Scheduler.

Then I double click on the task, I keep the user account as "John J", click on " Run whether or not user is logged on or not, click

"Run with highest privileges", click on "Hidden" and then configure the task for "Windows 10." I hit "OK" which the computer prompts me for my password. I enter it and hit "ok."

The problem is that the vbs never runs at the designated date and time. I do not understand why it does not work.

Thanks

Congratulations!

Your account name does indeed have an embedded space.

You can now use the Task Scheduler to run FNL2.vbs.

The .xml file you posted looks fine, except for the name of the script file.

Conclusion. There is something wrong with John's PC. His VB Scripts run fine at the Command Prompt, whether invoked directly, with cscript.exe or with wscript.exe. However, when invoked through the Task
Scheduler they will only work when invoked explicitly with cscript.exe.
