Task Scheduler - does not run executable, err: 0xe0434f4d

[Karl]

I am trying to run an executable file every morning using Windows Server 2003
Task Scheduler. It runs fine when I am logged in to the system. But it does
not run correctly when I logoff from the system. The task scheduler status
shows the following Last Result message: 0xe0434f4d

Place your executable into this batch file to see
what's going on:

@echo off
echo %date% %time% Start of task > c:\test.log
echo User=%UserName%, Path=%path% >> c:\test.log
c:\Tools\YourTask.exe 1>>c:\test.log 2>c:\test.err
echo ErrorLevel of c:\Tools\YourTask.exe=%ErrorLevel% >> c:\test.log
echo %date% %time% End of task >> c:\test.log

Now examine the two log files. They will probably tell
you the full story.

Actually, you are getting the error which means that it is still running but failing in the process. I think that it could be a rights problem, so if you run it, then it will do what you can do but when the scheduler runs it then it will probably run as more restricted user. You can try to add a debugging output to your program to get to the bottom of it. Hope this helps.
