schtasks not working

[Manik_82]

Hi All,

I created scheduled task using schtasks in Vista. I gave /ru and /rp while creating task. But "Last Result" displays 0x1 error. Please guide me where do I have to change to rectify this error.

Thanks,
Manik.

Check Service settings :

• Open Control Panel, > Administrative Tools > Click Computer Management > Expand Services and Applications > Services.
• Right-click Task Scheduler service > Properties.
• The startup type must be automatic
• The service status must be Started
• Goto Log On tab, select local system account
• Click OK and quit everything
• Reboot the computer and check....

Schtasks.exe is used for scheduled tasks from the command line, but the fact that it's running on shutdown is a bit strange. Click start, type services.msc and hit <enter>. Scroll down the list to this service and click on it. The left column dialog should indicate if it is running or needs to be restarted.

Hi Rudra & Chroma,

Did you verify the task scheduler service is set to automatic not disabled?Is the Task Scheduler service running? Did you turn off or disable any services?
