Creating Scheduled Tasks ?
Sep 1, 2011
I am trying to create a vb application that will create sscheduled tasks .Created a windows service and set it to start manually for now.Just as a test, when the timer expires I have set it to start 'Notepad' as a process which I can see listed under processes in the Task Manager, but cannot see it as a scheduled task.What I am unsure whether this is the right way to create a scheduled task and if it why can't I see Notepad in scheduled tasks.

Ineed a VBS script that removes all scheduled tasks which start with a specific string.
For example, delete all scheduled tasks which start with "My Application Tasks..."
I wanna use this VBS script in my application uninstaller so all tasks created by my application are removed at the uninstall time, however am not familiar with VBS.

Is there a way to delete an specific scheduled task from Windows XP/W7 ? I am trying to do that via VB.NET. The Idea is create a console app without any external DLL.

Do you know the answer? I can open the scheduled task by command-line from the VB GUI. What I'm trying to do is to open an exist job from VB GUI, by command-line or any other method, so I can let the users edit the job. I can't figure out how to do it.

I would like to use Windows Scheduled Tasks to have a Word 2003 macro run automatically every week.I have automated an Excel 2003 macro by using Windows Scheduled Tasks and the Workbook_open event and was hoping to find somethings comparable to automated execution of the Word macro.I then start Excel by running a .BAT file from Windows Scheduled Tasks which in turn executes the workbook.xls file created above whic starts Excel, and runs whatever routines I called in the above .xls macro.

To create a scheduled class, I call the schtasks command from my code, passing it the necessary arguments.Yet, I can't really figure out how to create a task without the user having to input his password.

TaskScheduler on Windows xp, does anyone know a API used to select a certain task to Run? or do I have to go through that darn COM ITASK interface, I think that might have a method?

I have to sync information between a users table in SQL and a user group in active directory. For example, if a user is entered into SQL table A then they need to be entered into group A and if a user is removed from SQL table A, then remove them from group A.The application is written in ASP.NET (VB)
I see two solutions:
1) A scheduled task that runs every night syncing the two (written in VB.NET).
2) Use inpersonation so that Active Directory can be updated by the ASP.NET application. The Web.Config file will have to be encrypted in this solution.
I have read articles online that say it is bad practice to update AD in ASP.NET. This would suggest that option 1 is the better solution. Which is the better solution?

My application needs to set up a scheduled task on installation. The task is to run my program on several triggers (related to logon events). I am wondering what is the easiest way to do this? Should I use a batch file?

I've read a few posts here on StackOverflow about task scheduling, but I'm not sure that I get it right. I'm coding (in VB.Net) a backup application, that I'd like to add as a scheduled task (in fact, I'd just like to let the user decide to run it every day at, for example, 3 AM)I've read posts suggesting to use a windows service for this, but it sounds a bit to much for something as simple as periodically running a task, isn't it?

Im am currently coding an application for auto updating ccleaner. Everything worked well until I enabled UAC.. I am using this project: [URL] to schedule the updating process, but when uac is enabled I get every time a message if I would let ccleaner installer make changes to my computer. The auto updating process must be done silently without bugging the user with prompts of uac.
When i manually check the "run with highest priviliges" box in task scheduler it does run without a prompt. But I can't seem to do this programmatically. Or I havent found it yet.

Is it possible for the installer or the first running of an application to create a scheduled task entry? Barring that, what is the least resource wasteful way to have a program run in the background watching the system time to run at a preset time?

how to do this off hand? I saw a few things for Microsoft.Win32 having some classes but I can't find the reference for it in 2010, which makes me think it is depreciated.
Edit: Can't find Microsoft.Win32.TaskScheduler or Microsoft.Win32.Win32_ScheduledJob which are the 2 I see suggested to use.

I've been thinking about this problem for a while now and I'm still not sure what is the best approach.Basically I've got several hundred email addresses stored in a Database, and every week I would like to automatically send these addresses a bulletin of information. I've accomplished this with a Stored Procedure and a Scheduled Job on the DB (Oracle), but I'm sure this could be achieved better with some VB.net solution.I've read about people writing a Windows Service, or creating a Console Application and using Windows scheduler. I'm swaying to wards the Windows Service approach but I'm not sure how to tell the service to send emails at a specific time every week. Any ideas, or is there a better approach?Also, what would be best? Send individual emails to the addresses in the emailing list, or send one email with every address added as a BCC?

I am currently attempting to support a ClickOnce application that i did not write. This application is running from a scheduled task. The scheduled task points to a .application file. This had been running happily untill today when it stopped. The only thing that has changed is that the application has been executed manually by a developer by double clicking on the .application file. Since then each time the scheduled task is scheduled to run the application doesn't appear to execute. The task reports no error and the error code (0x0) given indicates it ran and completed ok.
I am not familiar with ClickOnce and am not sure when implication clicking the .application file would have had or why it has stopped running as a scheduled task. It appears to me that everything else has remained the same (i have checked it is running under the correct account etc).

I have created a console application to run through the db (about 22K )records and update some values nightly. I've added an email to myself on any errors. When running the task I get about 500 emails saying:
"Overflow" (which is what's returned by : exception.Message)
What does it mean? Is it running through the db too fast?
Here is my code:
For Each dataRow As DataRow In dt.Rows
curries = 0
baseDate = Nothing
sourceID = 0

I created an exe app in vb.net and I want it to run every 3AM so I used the scheduled task feature of Windows 7. The app has an initial form that will countdown from ten before proceed to the main process. My problem is that the form doesn't poped up. But when I look at the task manager, my app is running. I don't know what's wrong with it because when I tested the app to run at times when I am viewing it, the initial form pops up. I already set everything like to Run whether user is logged on or not. So I really don't know what wrong with my app.

I have a simple vb.net application. When I go to bindebugprogram.exe and double click the program runs perfect. The same program will not execute using task scheduler. When I create a scheduled task and click 'run' it just pops up a console window for a second, closes. Additionally, this same program used to run with task scheduler. One day, it just stopped working.
ps: I have this program code managed in svn so I can safely say that the code has not changed.
