Task Scheduler Not Operating Correctly
I have several custom .vbs scripts kicked off in Windows 7 Task Scheduler. They perform ftp operations that back up our online database files. Obviously this is critical to our operations.
When I run the .vbs tasks manually they run fine. The files are downloaded as they should be. I can't get the scheduled tasks to run. I have checked all items that made sense and they just don't get kicked off. I just now enabled task history (found out how to do that in another sevenforums post, thanks) for all tasks so I don't know what was reported by the OS when they were supposed to be kicked off.
I just changed the trigger time of one of the tasks so I can see it run and see the history. All indications are that it started and ran fine (task started, action started, task completed, action completed). The files weren't FTP'ed into the local folder though. It looks as if Windows started and finished the task but the .vbs file didn't actually execute.
When I run the .vbs file manually by double clicking it the script runs fine and the files are FTP'ed as they should be.
Not only is this critical for our operation but out clients. I am backing up their files also.
I have to say that in previous versions of Windows Scheduled Tasks was never as complicated, and it always just worked.
Can someone provide some insight into what is up (or down) with Windows 7 Scheduled Tasks? Thanks for the help.
