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.

Hi Tepid,
Thanks for the reply.

I took screenshots of all of the Task Settings dialogs and attached them.

The task apparently was successfully run from the perspective of the OS but the files in that were supposed to be FTP'ed by running the .vbs file weren't FTP'ed.

Thanks for the help.

Windows 7 Task Scheduler does not fire scripts:: No call in any manner to cscript or wscript (with and without path to both Systerm3 [space] The file location) .. not even one line scripts appending to a log file, fire in Win7 Task Scheduler .. all work noProblems manually from Command and in Windows XP. Is there an update or something new in Win7 that is required? All radio buttons in Win7 checked and unchecked.

Have reset all permissions in Windows/System32/Tasks files to execute and on all script files as well. Still Task Scheduler History states(only) "failure" or "failure to launch". Again, this is a one line script that runs in Command with each and every different call I've tried, and the same do not run in Task Scheduler. Example in Action Tab Program/Script = "C:\Windows\System32\cscript.exe C:\Logs\TestTaskSch.vbs"

Now have built and compiled .exe files for Win7 Task Scheduler to run. TS says it runs but it does not. The .exe simply opens an Excel.WB and closes it. Works fine by double clicking in Win Explorer....but not Task Scheduler. Anybody go anything?
