"Some tasks did not execute at their scheduled times"...

P

pt

When I reboot, I am getting a message about the task
scheduler not running. Here's the text from the System
Event Log:

I have a couple defrag.exe tasks set to execute in my
task scheduler. Here's the "Run" from one:

C:\WINDOWS\system32\defrag.exe C: -v

I can (in task scheduler) run it manually without
problems. The task scheduler service is set to automatic
startup using "Local System account", and is running.


Here's the tail of the task sched log after restarting
Mon. morning (the pc is left running all the time):

Some tasks may not have executed at their
scheduled times between 12/6/2002 11:00:01 PM and
12/8/2003 8:52:46 AM, either because the Task Scheduler
Service was not running, or because the computer was
hibernating.

This seems to indicate that both tasks did run, so what
the heck is task sched complaining about??????? I have
*NOT* enabled "hibernation" or "System standby" in the
Power Options.

From your logfile below, it appears last time the task ran was at 12/8/2003
6:02:09 AM
and then the computer was restarted at 12/8/2003 8:52:09 . Is it possible
you have a scheduled
task to run when the computer was restarting?

Also was the computer ON at all times since 12/6/2002 11:00:01 PM ???

Nope. Defrag task is set to run in the early morning
(0-yawn-oclock) before I get to work. I generally restart when I
arrive.

The computer was on during the time the defrag task was set to run.
