@steiale:

any news?? :)

i will be testing today and let you know what happens @ our computers with that script…

[steiale]

Great!! Thank you very much…!!

[spwolf]

Can you check option “Run only when user is logged on” and let me know what happens then?

[steiale]

Ok we are getting close to it…

When I run it with user logged on option it fails with the following error: Task Scheduler failed to start “\nowijan.pbs” task for user “ritfs\Administrator”. Additional Data: Error Value: 2147943645.

Somehow the local admin machine account does not work.
But when I change the account info to domain admin account and the option user logged on the backup starts as normally.
Option run logged on or not with domain account does start the pabackup but the does nothing further. Behaves like dead.

what account do you use to work on that computer?

[steiale]

Domain admin

[spwolf]

@steiale:

Domain admin

and what about other software that runs there - they use same domain admin account or local account?

[steiale]

Yes they do… I do everthing on this machine in domain admin account.

[spwolf]

ok, lets try this - schedule new task manually through task scheduler and just pick pbs file that you want to schedule (so not pabackup.exe but .pbs). What happens then?

[steiale]

Tried already… but tried it again…

EXACTLY the same behavior. User logged on runs great.
User not logged on dead task…

User not logged on dead task…

wait - so it runs completly fine with option user logged in?

[steiale]

Yes. Like it did before.

Option: Run only when user logged on - runs
Option: Run whether user is logged on or not - doesn’t run

[spwolf]

@steiale:

Yes. Like it did before.

Option: Run only when user logged on - runs
Option: Run whether user is logged on or not - doesn’t run

so task scheduler cant schedule task unless user is logged on, that means something is wrong with task schedulers starting tasks as another user. I guess we need to google for solutions. I wonder if it might be some service that is disabled.

[steiale]

I will try something different. I hope I know where the problem is. I had a change in die admin password. I think the tasks stores the passwords locally. I guess task scheduler has a bug when passwords are changing.

So I will create a new backup user and create the jobs again. Hopefully that works…

[steiale]

Ok. Here we go again.
New User, completely new jobs, PAB starts… Does nothing…

Going mad…!!

[steiale]

Ok… things are getting worse and worse.
Now the pbs files will be emptied when they don’t run correctly.
So for every test I have to create new pbs files.

Any further help?

dont know what else… we could try having an special debug version of PowerArchiver Backup so we can go step by step and determine what could be the issue?

[steiale]

ok… so lets try this… if its helps you…
I thought I’d be clever and leave the user logged on.
PA Backup error message…
