Scheduled tasks not running on Windows Server 2003 R2

December 29, 2011, 9:35 am

I'm having trouble running scheduled tasks on a Windows Server 2003 R2 server.

Searching the responses in the forum provided some insights, but nothing that fixed the problem.

Several of the responses on the forum indicated that the scheduled tasks should be logging to "%systemroot%\Schedlgu.txt". I tried to locate this file, but I couldn't find it. Since it seemed reasonable that a scheduled task might not run without the log file being available, I created the log file and made sure that it was writeable.

I also made sure that the Task Scheduler service was running under a Local System Account.

When I run the "schtasks" command from the command line, all of the tasks are shown with a status of "Could not start". The Event logs show nothing and the "%systemroot%\Schedlgu.txt" file is empty.

The tasks that I want to run on a scheduled basis are both ".bat" files and both work properly when launched manually from the commmand line.

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

run a vbscript file from Task Scheduler

I have the below vbScript file that runs fine when I execute manually:

dim oWord
Dim wshShell, btn
Set wshShell = CreateObject("WScript.Shell")

Set wmi = GetObject("winmgmts:")
Set procs = wmi.ExecQuery("select * from Win32_Process Where Name='WinWord.Exe'")
If procs.Count > 0 Then
    Set oWord = GetObject(, "Word.Application")
    oWord.Visible=True
    wscript.sleep 10000
    oword.visible=false
End If

unfortunately I need to to execute this using a scheduled task.

But it won't run from a scheduled task, so I created a batch file to run it:

wscript C:\dev\checkALPS.vbs

now when I run the batch file manually it's fine, but when I execute using my Windows Scheduled task I get an error:

Error:ActiveX component can't create object: 'GetObject'
Code:800A01AD
Source: Microsoft VBScript runtime error

what can I do to fix this please?

Hello,

I'm unable to install the latest cumulative update for Windows 2012 Server.

After reboot Windows rolls it back.

I've tried four times already. Wiping c:\Windows\SoftwareDistribution\Download doesn't help.

Here's the last CBS.log file https://1drv.ms/u/s!AvORQXCuVlB3iHsXLG7Z8fLXAdrF

I need to understand what's wrong with my PC. I've been successfully using this server installation for three years and it's the first time an update fails.

Is this because this update is borked ( https://www.computerworld.com/article/3290948/microsoft-windows/microsoft-dives-down-a-bizarre-non-cumulative-rabbit-hole-with-july-patches.html )?

Remote desktop connection cannot verify the identity of the computer that you want to connect to

Remote Desktop cannot verify the identity of the computer you want to connect to. This problem can occur if:

  1. The remote computer is running a version of Windows that is earlier than Windows Vista.
  2. The remote computer is configured to support only the RDP security layer.

Contact your network administrator or the owner of the remote computer for assistance.

RPC unavailable in Windows server 2008R2

In a few days ago, we have one Windows 2008R2 server which hosted a Exchange server as one of the CAS/Hub in the array suddenly disconnected from all PCs/servers by using RPC protocol. Non of services/application using RPC is able to get connected to that server but the network connection is fine. Because something network services are working like Ping, RDP, HTTP, HTTPS...

In short, another identical CAS/Hub server in the array is no problem at all and we have no modification to be made in server farm. I have no idea about this.

I confirmed the following services inbound traffic are not working:

1)NLB

2)SMB

3)Time sync

4)Remote management

Thank you for anyone helping me.

Net Stop w3svc - hangs - since July 2018 Win Updates

July 14, 2018, 6:13 pm

0

I have a new problem on 3 different Windows 2012 servers that run IIS.  One is on bare metal and two are in the AWS EC2 cloud.

This problem showed itself immediately after the reboot completing July Windows updates.  Note: there have been zero other changes in software on 2 of the systems, only Windows updates, these are very stable systems that have worked as-is for years.

The problem is that NET STOP fails to control the service.  It fails to stop w3svc, i.e. NET STOP W3SVC fails.  It also fails to stop other unrelated services for example FileZilla FTP Server .  The response to NET STOP is "The service is starting or stopping.  Please try again later. "

I also tried with PowerShell,

Get-Service w3svc | restart-service  -Force

That fails with this message:

restart-service : Service 'World Wide Web Publishing Service (w3svc)' cannot be stopped 
due to the following error: Cannot stop w3svc service on computer '.'.
At line:1 char:21
+ Get-Service w3svc | restart-service  -Force
+                     ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    + CategoryInfo          : CloseError: (System.ServiceProcess.ServiceController:Serv 
   iceController) [Restart-Service], ServiceCommandException
    + FullyQualifiedErrorId : CouldNotStopService,Microsoft.PowerShell.Commands.Restart 
   ServiceCommand

Details about the installed updates are below.

This is a HUGE problem.  The only workaround is to reboot the server.  Sledgehammer.

Windows Server Active Directory Help

Hi Everyone, i have a strange question from a client.  Firstly here's the environment

1 server that acts as the root for domain.local (holds roles Schema Master and Domain naming master)

1  server that acts as the primary server for child.domain.local (holds roles PDC, RID, Infra. master)

1 server that acts as a secondary DC for child.domain.local (a Virtual Machine)

They want to do some testing within child.domain.local 

So the question is, can we make a copy of the VM Domain Controller, launch it in its own private network, seize the roles and connect test clients to it. Would it function?

Hi,

How does one delete workfolder data and user from the server when the user has left the company? The user still shows up under Server Manager\File and Storage Services\Work Folders after I deleted the users folder via file explorer.

If I right click a user in Server Manager\File and Storage Services\Work Folders I only get the options "suspend user" and "properties".

DC upgrade and legacy systems

Have a client we are upgrading from SBS2008 to new systems with a Server 2016 DC and a separate Exchange 2016 VM. They have a legacy system (a VM) running Server 2000 and SQL 2000 that they need to keep (runs some old manufacturing equipment that can't be upgraded). The current functional level is 2003, before we raise it to 2008R2 and install the new 2016 DC are there any issues with running a 2000 member server in a 2016 forest / domain? Again, all the 2000 box runs is a piece of legacy software and SQL 2000, no other functions in the domain. Thanks!

Display Description field per perf counter

August 13, 2018, 2:11 am
$

This should be simple Q. In PwrShell I can get get some set of paths like below i.e.

(Get-Counter -ListSet Synchronization).PathsWithInstances 

\Synchronization(0)\Spinlock Contentions/sec
\Synchronization(_Total)\Spinlock Contentions/sec

...

then see Description for just the object.

(Get-Counter -ListSet Synchronization).Description
The Synchronization performance object consists of counters for kernel synchronization. The synchronization object represents each processor as an instance of the object.

full details:

Get-Counter -ListSet Synchronization


CounterSetName     : Synchronization
MachineName        : .
CounterSetType     : MultiInstance
Description        : The Synchronization performance object consists of counters for kernel synchronization. The synchronization object represents each processor as an instance of the object.
Paths              : {\Synchronization(*)\Exec. Resource Boost Shared Owners/sec, \Synchronization(*)\Exec. Resource Boost Excl. Owner/sec, \Synchronization(*)\Exec. Resource Set Owner Pointer Shared (Existing Owner)/sec, \Synchronization(*)\Exec. Resource Set Owner
                     Pointer Shared (New Owner)/sec...}
PathsWithInstances : {\Synchronization(7)\Exec. Resource Boost Shared Owners/sec, \Synchronization(6)\Exec. Resource Boost Shared Owners/sec, \Synchronization(5)\Exec. Resource Boost Shared Owners/sec, \Synchronization(4)\Exec. Resource Boost Shared Owners/sec...}
Counter            : {\Synchronization(*)\Exec. Resource Boost Shared Owners/sec, \Synchronization(*)\Exec. Resource Boost Excl. Owner/sec, \Synchronization(*)\Exec. Resource Set Owner Pointer Shared (Existing Owner)/sec, \Synchronization(*)\Exec. Resource Set Owner
                     Pointer Shared (New Owner)/sec...}

Q is, how do I display only each of the Synchronization_Total perf counter per type and with the description? My main task here is to better know how I can read any given perf counter Description. As other docs I find aren't specific to the exact counter but given more of an overview. Such as - https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/desktop/sync/synchronization-objects - also this doesn't quite achieve what I am after - https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/powershell/module/microsoft.powershell.diagnostics/get-counter?view=powershell-5.1

This is the list I wish to go through 1 by 1. example, what is IPI?
