I am experimenting with a scheduled task by making modifications to a sucessful task. For example, I want to take something like"C:\Program Files\Spybot - Search & Destroy\SpybotSD.exe" /AUTOCHECK /AUTOFIX /AUTOCLOSEand prefix it withcmd /c start "" /LOW /WAIT /B to get a low priority execution (the spybot command is just an example, it could be any command).I normally make copies of something before making experimental modifications. In this case, I intended to copy the task, disable the original, then modify the copy. If the modification didn't work, I'd revert back to the original.However, though I can create tasks, I can't seem to make copies of them. When I try, I am told that the copy had the same name as the original. So it doesn't quite work like a file copy.I tried copying the task to a temporary directory, changing the name, then copying it back. When I made the copy, it had the extention ".job", even though it doesn't show up that way in the scheduled Tasks folder (which is set to show file extensions). That's fine, I thought, I'm sure scheduled tasks are a special creature. So I rename the task and drag it into the Scheduled Task folder. When I try to open it, I get the following error messages in a popup window entitled "Task scheduler":"general page initialization failed" "the specific error is" "access denied" "an error has occurred attempting to retrieve task account information""you may continue editing the task object, but will be unable to change task account information"I figure it could be because I specified an local administrator in the Run As field of the original task: LocalMachineName\LocalAdminAccount. In fact, it was the very account that I was logged into at the moment. I don't need to specify that, I thought, it should run under that account anyway because I'm creating the task while logged in as that account. Unfortunately, the field seemed to be inaccessible.Is copying a scheduled task even possible? If not, why was I allowed to do so?1 person needs an answerI do too
