And I created a task with task scheduler in Windows 7. When I run the batch manually, everything goes fine, but when I try to run it with the task scheduler nothing happens. Worked for me on Win7 Pro.
You must have an account with a password blank passwords are no good. It is working now. This is what I did. You probably won't need all these steps to make it work but just to be sure try them all:. Check the account parameters of your scheduled task and make sure they are set to run whether or not someone is logged into the machine. Had an issue where my task was not firing simply because it was running on a laptop without a power cord Under the conditions tab, by default it is checked so that a task will not run while AC power is not connected.
Under Windows7 Pro, I found that Arun's solution worked for me: I could get this to work even with "no user logged on", I did choose use highest priveledges. From past experience, you must have an account with a password blank passwords are no good , and if the program doesn't prompt you for the password when you finish the wizard, go back in and edit something till it does! If all of the rest fails for you here ensure that the user you are trying to run the task as has access to the file you're trying to use.
I post the answer to this question here and here. Please check which user account you use to execute our task. It may happen that you run your task with different user then your default user, and this user requires some extra privileges.
Also it may happen that the task is executed but you cant see any effect because the batch file waits for some user response so please check task manager if you see your process running. Once it happen that I schedule a batch with svn update of some web page and the process hangs because svn asked for accepting server certificate.
Using the Run button in the Task Scheduler main window to test several variations finally found the correct settings. This two options must be combined: -Run only when user is logged on -Run with highest privileges. All other variations failed. It's infuriating all the time wasted on this, but at least it works. The cmd window will not show if you select Run whether user is logged in or not. You need to select Run only when user is logged on to see the window in action. How are we doing?

I have a batch file daily. Open Task Scheduler and find your task under the Active Tasks section. They should be listed out in alphabetical order. There are several tabs and a couple of things have to checked and changed here. Firstly, on the General tab, you need to check the user account that is being used to run the task. Next, you have to choose the Run whether user is logged on or not option and choose Windows Vista, Windows Server in the Configure for box.
On the Actions tab, you have to select the script, click on Edit and then add in the path to the folder containing the script in th e Start in optional box. Now click on OK to save the settings. When you do this, a dialog may appear where you have to enter the password for the user account that will run the task.
This brings up another requirement. The user account has to have a password in order for the task to run. Lastly, you should run the task manually once in Task Scheduler to make sure it runs. In my case, it was supposed to happen on startup and after I made the changes, everything worked fine. Note that if your script is accessing different computers in a domain when run, you should try to use the domain administrator account to run the task.
This will ensure the account has enough permissions to access the remote computers. How about a script? See Next Section Copy the ListPatches. Launch the Task Scheduler by clicking Start, typing Task in the search box, and selecting Task Scheduler from the search results.
You can also access the Task Scheduler from the Administrative Tools menu. Name the task Document Patches and put in a description if desired. Click Next. On the Trigger page, select Weekly and click Next. Select Thursday and set the time to PM to cause the script to run every Thursday afternoon at
