robocopy script is not working through Scheduler

[ashishmahanta]

Dear All,

My batch file of robocopy is working fine. But when I tried to run it through task scheduler, none of the files transfer to the target location.

@echo off
echo +-----------------------------------------+
echo Database Export Utility for server
echo +-----------------------------------------+
echo .
ROBOCOPY E:\dp_dir \\192.168.30.28\inter_loc_dump /LOG:LOG_FILE.TXT

Above script is working fine...but task scheduler is keep on running without any results.

Please help me out.

Hi and Welcome to SevenForums,

In the Scheduler, what settings have you set under General, Triggers and Actions?

[ashishmahanta]

In general >> bkp_to_30_28
clicked on below radio button -
run whether user is logged on or not
do not store pasword.
run with highest privileges.

In Trigger >> Daily --timing --enabled

In Action >> path of the batch file.

But i am running it manually. As for testing purpose i need to start it manually.

Is it due to permission issue? Since folders are getting transfer to remote server.

Any more details required?

Just to clear a few things up can you post screenshots of those screens?

I wouldn't have thought it would be permissions if it works when you run manually.

When you run it manually, are you running it manually from the Task Scheduler or Running the script directly?

When I run batch file manually. It works fine (folder copied to destination location). When i run task scheduler, nothing comes up. It shows, only running.

Try changing the Security options to 'Run only when user is logged on' and un-check 'Run with highest privileges'

Now change the 'Configure for' drop down box to Windows 7

OK/Save that and see if it runs now?

Thanks a lot.
May I know what is the difference between the radio button? I was using always "Run with highest privileges"
After doing the changes, my folders is getting transfer to the destination server (manually started the task manager).


Thank

Have you tried placing the path in double quotes ? I know in theory you only need to do this if there is a space in the path / directory name, however task scheduler tends to treat batch files differently and in order to get mine working with it the path needed the double quotes added... worth a shot easy enough to change back if it don't work.

Can you confirm that since making those changes it now works?

Show us what you changed to make it work

Can you show us what you changed exactly to make it work. Did you add double quote in the directory path on both source and destination??

thanks.
