Task Scheduler - command <schtasks /query /fo csv /nh> does not wo

[Guest]

Does anyone experience the following problem that I have with the
schtasks.exe command:

(1) Start Command Prompt
(2) Type a schtasks command line to do a query of scheduled tasks; format =
comma-separated-values (csv), option = no headers (nh).
Syntax of the command line : schtasks /query /fo csv /nh

(3) Result : I receive following error-message:
ERROR: /NH switch cannot be used with the LIST format

(4) Comment 1: I asked for a CSV output, not a LIST output!

(5) Comment 2: According to schtasks.exe documentation (see link
hhtp://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb736357.aspx) the /NH parameter of
the schtasks.exe command should work with the /FO CSV output format
("Parameter /NH ... This is valid only for TABLE and CSV formats.").

(6) Additional information about VISTA I am using:
(6.1) Vista Home Premium
(6.2) the schtasks.exe module (in C:\windows\system32) has revision
6.0.6000.16386

Thanks for suggestions.

Hi Herman,

I have tried to do what you have tried, both at a standard CMD prompt and at
an elevated CMD prompt. I got the same result as you both times. However, the
command worked when you used the /FO TABLE format instead of the /FO CSV
format. This is either a bug in Vista, or they have got the command help file
wrong.

I have the strong feeling it is a bug:
(1) according to Microsoft documentation the command <schtasks /query /fo
csv /nh> should work.
(2) I have used this command before on a Windows XP PC
Then : HOW SUBMIT A BUG REPORT TO MICROSOFT ?
