Task Scheduler: Automatic Backup/Shutdown
This is the procedure I've tried following but without success:
1. Open Task Scheduler
2. Create a new basic task
3. Enter a description for the task
4. On the trigger screen select "When a specific event is logged"
5. Select the Application from the log drop down menu.
6. Select Backup from the source drop down menu.
7. Enter 4098, 14, or 754 (depends on OS version) as the event ID.
8. On the action screen select "Start a program"
9. Enter "Shutdown" or "Shutdown.exe" into the Program/Script text box.
10. Enter "/s" or into the Arguments box.
11. Click next & Finish.
12. Run a backup to confirm the task is working.
I've checked on the scheduled automatic backup and it works every day as it is suppose to, but the procedure listed above to start a shutdown upon completion of any backup does NOT work. I checked in Task Scheduler and it doesn't even list the Auto Shutdown Task as every being run despite there being several backups already run. Could someone tell me where I'm going wrong on this and/or why this is NOT working to shut my system down upon completion of a backup?
