asp_web_howto thread: Help with VBS File & Task Scheduler


Message #1 by info@e... on Wed, 5 Dec 2001 09:34:31
Can someone please help me? I have a vbs file that downloads a file 

trought ftp from a ftp site. Eerything works good with the file, when I 

click on it and run it, it does everything it should do. However, I need 

this file to run everyday at midnight and I cannot get my Task Scheduler 

in W2Server to work properly. I have tried almost everything, from 

scheduling the task trough the Start > Programs > Accessories > System 

Tools > Scheduled Tasks to scheduling tasks trough a command prompt using 

at. They both do pretty much the same thing.



When I run the scheduled file, it gives me a Status of "Could not start". 

Any idea what I can do? I also tried scheduling other exe apps to open and 

nothing seems to work. The only thing that worked for me is to open 

notepad.exe. I also restarted all of the services associated with the Task 

Scheduler. I would really appreciate any help. Thanks!
