Scheduled tasks in windows 2000 server do not run

by cesar_pil Jul 3, 2007 4:36PM PDT

I have created a batch file to backup data in particular servers in our company and created a schedule task to run the batch file at designated time and date. The problem is that the scheduled task do not run. There are a total of 150 scheduled tasks at this particular server, all running except the one I created(located at crive c).

I've tried to rename it and make it sure that it is the first one in the list of scheduled task but still it didn't run.

Please help.

Too many missing details.

Sorry but I can't tell if you set the non-interactive item or if your batch was written well. Given so few details I can guess what the issue is here.

Try google.com with words like "scheduled tasks don't run."

If you decide to reveal all the details I'll look again.

Hi Bob,

I guess my batch file is good. It is running in different server.
Here are some details:
>>last run time status = never (w/c means it didn't run eversince i created it)
>>creator = administrator but other tasks is system

I've tried to create a test batch file with below code:
echo off
echo test
pause
echo on
but still didn't work

Hoping above details will do.

Hi Bob,

I got it. I recreated the task with correct account setting including the password and it did run.

Thanks for the help...
