Task Schduler Log issues

Question

I have been using task scheduler for scheduling batch jobs and I have enabled tasks history. However, I could not find any log file in C:\Windows\Tasks.

So where could I find the log files for that?

Answer 1

Task scheduler has two logs: Maintenance and Operational, the files for it are at these locations:

%SystemRoot%\System32\Winevt\Logs\Microsoft-Windows-TaskScheduler%4Maintenance.evtx

%SystemRoot%\System32\Winevt\Logs\Microsoft-Windows-TaskScheduler%4Operational.evtx

but they are no text files, you can view the files in Event Viewer but they are already there under the path:

Application and Services Logs-Microsoft-Windows-TaskScheduler

Most information is available right in the Task Scheduler UI under the History tab anyways.
