I have a scheduled task on my Windows 2008 R2 server which is supposed to run a powershell script to download a backup of a file from another server. On this same server, I have scheduled the exact same task to run and download from 2 other servers - these tasks work fine.
This one task in particular never seems to do anything. The task history says it was executed successfully but the files are never downloaded. If I run the powershell script manually, the files are downloaded. If I run the automatic task manually, the files are downloaded again. If I disconnect and come to check the next day, the files have not been downloaded.
I have it set to run whether the user is logged on or not. Why is it not working?? How I can enable more detailed logging?
if you wrote the application you can write in the code for it to log on every event. you should also check the Task/Application to make sure you know where it is downloading the file too. maybe change the path name so that it is something like
c:/folder1/folder2
etc. rather than a relative pathname like../folder4

Sounds like it might be an authentication issue (but unfortunately i don't know how to investigate it any further)... – C.B. – 2013-08-19T13:57:54.300
