Anyone know what the result codes for scheduled tasks are or where to find
them? I'm getting "0x2" in the "Last Result" column for a job that is
supposed to run, but am not sure what it means. I have an idea, but would
like more details. This is Windows Server 2003 SP1. Thanks.
Ok, found an article (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/308558) but it doesn't
list what "0x2" means. It does explain how to get to the scheduled tasks
log, which shows "Result: The task completed with an exit code of (2)."
Any ideas will be appreciated.

The code is generated by whatever you run inside the scheduled task.
Thanks. It's just a batch file that maps a drive and copies files to an
archive repository (folder on another server.)

Why don't you give yourself some eyes so that you can see what's going on?
@echo off
echo %date% %time% %UserName% >> c:\test.txt
net use Q: \\Server\Share 1>>c:\test.txt 2>>&1
xcopy /y /c "c:\Some Folder\*.txt" "q:\Some Directory" 1>>c:\test.txt
2>>&1
What is the contents of c:\test.txt?

System error 67 has occurred.
The network name cannot be found.
Invalid drive specification
0 File(s) copied
We're having an issue where the Server and Workstation services won't stay
running and I think this is related - the drive can't be mapped and thus the
job fails. Thanks for your help, Pegasus.

Thanks for the feedback. It seems that making things visible highlighted the
real cause of your problem.
