I have configured a Event viewer task on Windows server 2008 to monitor all the scheduled tasks and send me an alert when ever a scheduled task fails or throws some error. I have already tested itand it is working fine. But the problem comes when i log out of the machine i get an alert for failed scheduled task.When i login and check there are no failed scheduled task and even then i am getting an failed alert. Is this related to any security issues...Please answer...I have already configured the Event viewer task to run under my account( with whether user is logged in or not option ) with highest privileges.Thanks in advance.

Hello,check the user rights assigments for "logon as a batch job" also the scheduled task event log should give some more details. Open the task scheduler via Administrative tools and check in the history of the task about problems.Best regards Meinolf Weber Disclaimer: This posting is provided "AS IS" with no warranties, and confers no rights.

I should get an alert when a job fails or runs long.Thanks....
