Re: Scheduled tasks don't end

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance

FINALLY!!!!!!!

The client machine has 3 user accounts. One is "Admin",
that includes a password, and two individual accounts
that DO NOT have passwords.

All of the "Scheduled Tasks" are run under the authority
of "Admin", as of course we all know is a requirement
imposed by Windows.

The Winzip backup jobs were created by one of the two
users where the "Admin"/password was entered as part
of Winzip's scheduling. Then, subsequent to the job
creations that user attempted to RUN the scheduled
task wherein the "Scheduled tasks don't end" post was
made when the task never ended.

Winzip has, as one of its configuration settings, an option
wherein there is a user security warning and verification
prompt whenever a Winzip "job" is to be run. HOWEVER,
that prompt ISN'T displayed UNLESS the authorizing user
is running the job, "Admin" in this case; i.e., one has to log
onto Windows as "Admin" and run the scheduled task in
order to SEE the prompt.

The solution, in this particular case, was to simply "un-check"
the security setting in Winzip's security warning option settings.
Or, run the task for the 1st time under the authorizing ID and
check the box in the security prompt indicating no further
security checks need be made on THAT particular job.

(This was a most valuable lesson to have learned, as I have
6 more independent machines to configure. And yes, it had
nothing to do with the Scheduled Task manager having run
amiss.)

(PS) You never did answer the question regarding on what
continent you're on that's 19 hours ahead of us here in California.

I see you're making progress. Do you still think there is
something amiss with the Task Scheduler? Have you
found out why it did not end in your original configuration?

I'll now take the bat file to the clients for testing.

The confusion arose in that your original post showed:
Line5 1>>c:\test.log 2>>&1

So it did. Sorry about that.
