task scheduler

[Ann]

I use windows task scheduler to copy and transfer
databases.

If the task is failed, is there a way to notify me.

I tried the "notify me of missed tasks" on advanced menu.

It didn't work.

I tried it like this, I manually run a task, this task
has errors I know. but nothing happened, no pop- up
window.

Another thing is I seldom goes to that computer, so is
there any way to send me a message to my owm computer to
notify me there is a failure.
By the way, we don't have mail client installed on that
computer.

Thanks for any suggestions

You might want to look at
C:\WINDOWS\SchedLgU.Txt

That is the Scheduled Tasks log.

Start | Run | Type: C:\WINDOWS\SchedLgU.Txt | OK

Thank you.

I can open the log file and find error.
But because this is a daily job, I hope there is a way
automatically to notify me if there is a failed job.
I don't need to check it every day to see how it runs.

Thanks for any ideas.

I found just the thing.

Receive Notification of Missed Tasks (All Windows)

http://www.winguides.com/registry/display.php/1279/

By default when you are using Task Scheduler to automatically run programs
you will not receive notification if a task is not run. This tweak can be
used to cause Windows to show a pop-up message with the option to re-run any
missed tasks.

Open your registry and find or create the key below.
Create a new DWORD value, or modify the existing value, called
"NotifyOnTaskMiss" and set it according to the value data below.

Exit your registry, you may need to restart or log out of Windows for the
change to take effect.

Registry Settings
System Key: [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\SchedulingAgent]
Value Name: NotifyOnTaskMiss
Data Type: REG_DWORD (DWORD Value)
Value Data: (0 = no notify, 1 = notify)
