Most Task Scheduler return codes are generated by the task
that you're running. Here is how you can see what they
are:

@echo off
echo %date% %time% Start of task > c:\test.log
echo User=%UserName%, Path=%path% >> c:\test.log
c:\Tools\YourTask.exe 1>>c:\test.log 2>c:\test.err
echo ErrorLevel of c:\Tools\YourTask.exe=%ErrorLevel% >> c:\test.log
echo %date% %time% End of task >> c:\test.log

Schedule this batch file, then examine the two log files and all
will become clear!

Thanks,
This helps a lot.
still one thing is strange.
I scheduled a batchjob containing a xcopy command.
log file returns : ErrorLevel of xcopy=4
err file returns : sharing violation
Task scheduler returns : result code 0x0
i'll figure it out

The answer is obvious: one of the files you're trying
to copy is locked.

yes, I know the file is locked.
but the result code of 0x0 implies everthing should have been correct.
but it isn't according to errorlevel-4.

I think it's time for you to do some of your own experiments.
Maybe the Task Scheduler only shows the ErrorLevel of
the last command that was executed. I don't know the answer
but it's a no brainer to find out!
