http://serverfault.com – I wrote a PowerShell script that check the executable in the < action > tag for each task in the Task directory and mark the < enabled >TRUEorFALSE< / enabled > tag as false/true depending on the validity of the digital signature of the executable. After reading each task, the script re-saves the task file with the same name, type and location. Now my issue is that I get this message when I lunch task scheduler: “Task XYZ: The task image is corrupt or has been tampered with.” This message appears for all the tasks that were scanned and saved. Does editing task’s xml file dir (HowTos)

Is there a way to know the source and legitimacy of the tasks in the task scheduler in windows server 2008 and 2003? Can I check if the task was added by Microsoft (ie: from sccm) or by a 3rd party application?

For each task in the task scheduler, I want to verify that the task has not been created by a third party application.

Can someone give me a use case for setting up a Windows Server 2008 Task Scheduler task (we'll call this "test") that completes (action completed is task=201) with an error (result code=2)?

I am looking at consolidating all of our scheduled tasks that run on various servers (Win 2008 R2) within our domain on to one "Task Scheduling Server". I am a developer so I'm not even sure if this is a good idea or just a maintenance headache. One of our Network guys copied some of the tasks I monitor over to the new server and asked me to test them.

I get the following error in the Scheduled Task history when I try to run a task:

Task Scheduler successfully completed task "\Restart Tomcat" , instance "{264b4620-5f3b-6c5f-a6cb-1625a7fa57de}" , action "C:\Windows\System32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\powershell.EXE" with return code 1.

The scheduled task is configured as follows:

Name: Restart Tomcat User: DOMAIN\tomcat.restarter Triggers: Daily

System is Windows 2008 R2

I have a task scheduler task with a trigger to run at system startup, and have set the Delay to 20 minutes, however the task runs immediatley on system startup and ignores the 20 minute delay. There are other triggers, but it is the boot trigger which is at fault by ignoring the delay.

Triggers section of the exported task follows.

<Triggers> <CalendarTrigge

I have a shell script called run.sh. In it, I may call other shell scripts like:

./run_1.sh ./run_2.sh .........

If I call the script by ./run.sh, I have found actually it will invoke different tasks inside the script sequentially with different PIDs(i.e., run_1.sh will be a task and run_2.sh will be another task).

Task Management Applications or TODO Apps helps a lot in organizing all the key activities or task in an easy and efficient way.
