I need to run a batch file whenever my Windows 10 VMware boots up ..i have tried the scheduler and put the exe path in the start up folder but it appears that works only when the user logs into the Vmware and not when the Vmware is booting up.
has any of you already solved this ?? if yes, how ?
Task Scheduler comes with an option called "System Startup". This means when both Windows and Task Scheduler successfully started up.
You should select When the computer starts for trigger. And run a program for action. Fill in the path to your script and arguments if necessary.
Situation
I have a Win 2012 server in which i run an exe which is essentially a GUI. The server restarts every monday so on monday morning i have to log-on to the server using a generic account and manually start the exe.
Setup
I am planning to automate the activity of starting the exe every monday. For that i have written a batch file which starts the exe with some parameters. Also i have created a scheduled task that runs on Monday and triggers the batch file. The trigger that i have used in the scheduled task is "At Startup".
ISSUE
The issue that i am facing is that after the server is restarted i am not seeing my GUI(exe) running. When i checked on the Task Manager it is showing it running as Background Process however it is not coming to front and i am not seeing the GUI. I might be wrong but i think the exe is running as a process/service instead of running as an App.
Can someone please suggest a solution for this issue.
Thanks in advance.
I have a task set up on a windows server 2008 R2. This task is setup in the task scehduler to execute a batch file that backs up a mongo database, every 4 hours. I have it set up the same on 2 servers.
On 1 server it runs fine.
On the other, I get this error logged in the history and it doesn't execute.
Task Scheduler failed to start "\Backup MongoDb" task for user "*****". Additional Data: Error Value: 2147750687.
I am lost for ideas what the issue may be. Anyone got any ideas?
My workaround is to call a .BAT file from the Task Scheduler.
This batch file then calls the PowerShell script file:
powershell c:\dir1\AutoPopulate.ps1
Seems to work.
I have run into this a few times. Check the last run result on the task. If it says another instance is already running, right-click on the task and click "End." Then after it ends the task it should start again correctly the next time. You can also right click and choose "Run" to run it immediately.
Check the Security options of your Task.
Make sure, the option Run whether user is logged on or not is selected.
I have a small program that I would like to turn into an installable windows.form. It needs to automatically be run as a cron job/scheduled task. How can I do this?
C#
You can either have it setup as a Windows Service or the at command can run it as a scheduled task.

Does anyone know if you can and how to start off a scheduled Windows task on a Remote Server from within a SQL Server Integration Services (SSIS) package?
Assuming you run it on Windows Server 2003/2008 or Vista, use SSIS Execute Process Task to start SCHTASKS.EXE with appropriate params (SCHTASKS /Run /? to see details).
It should be possible as the Task Scheduler has a scriptable COM API that can be used for interacting with tasks.
You could therefore either create a custom task that uses COM interop to call the Task Scheduler API, or it'd probably be quicker to use an Active X Script task to do your dirty work.
I invested a lot of time in the aforementioned COM API back in 2002. It was, to put it mildly, "flakey".
What we ended up doing instead is having our tasks run every minute. The first thing the task did was check the database to see if it should continue running or not.
Then "starting" a scheduled task from SSIS was as simple as changing a database field.
