≪ Previous: Source code checked in, #91425

Hi,

I want to know the last run result of some of the tasks scheduled in windows scheduler. How can I get that information using this library?
I tried using "LastTaskResult" property of "Task" class but it is returning different integer values from which I am not able to figure the last run result of tasks.
Please respond to this thread.

Thanks in advance.

≪ Previous: New Post: Last Run Result of any task

The only two properties that report on the results of the last execution of a task are LastRunTime and LastTaskResult. LastRunTime gives the time when the execution started and LastRunResult gives the exit code for the executable specified in the task's ExecAction that fired.

For a bunch more detail, you can create a TaskEventLog object for the task and iterate through the events fired by the task. However, depending on how your task reports its result, this may not give an answer either.

Hi all!

First of all, I LOVE THIS CODE - it is saving my life in terms of being able to run programs on remote PCs using different credentials! :)

** Here's my question: is there a way to subscribe to a local or remote TaskService so that I get notifications when any TaskScheduler change occurs?

I'm currently showing all tasks in a DatGridView, and instead of a user needing to refresh the list, I would like to be able to do this only when my program gets notification of a change...

Any thoughts or ideas about this?

(and thanks in advance)! :)

*** After thinking about this more, maybe what I'm after is some kind of HOOK I can created that would let me know when TaskScheduler events or mothods are bing used\accessed?

The only thing that would indicate a task has run is the event log on the computer running the task. You could actually create another task that runs an executable or COM server that fires when a completion event is posted for the task you are wanting to get a notification from. You would use an EventTrigger and set the subscription value to the following (replacing the name of the task reference with your's):

<QueryList>
  <Query Id="0" Path="Microsoft-Windows-TaskScheduler/Operational">
    <Select Path="Microsoft-Windows-TaskScheduler/Operational">
    *[
        System
        [
            Provider[@Name='Microsoft-Windows-TaskScheduler'] 
            and (Level=4)
            and (EventID=201)
        ]       
    ]
    and
    *[
        EventData
        [
            Data
            [
                @Name='TaskName'
            ]='\Full task path of task to track'
        ]
    ]    
    </Select>
  </Query>
</QueryList>

See the first example "Using the editor" code on this page: https://taskscheduler.codeplex.com/wikipage?title=Examples. Make sure you are either setting the RegisterTaskOnAccept property to true before launching the dialog or you are re-registering the task when the user hits OK.

hi,

when i tried to connect a remote server(windows 2003) using the line,

Microsoft.Win32.TaskScheduler.TaskService _taskservice = new Microsoft.Win32.TaskScheduler.TaskService(servername, username, domain, Password);

it is throwing multiple errors like "The request is not supported. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80070032)" and sometimes with the code 0x80070006

is it possible to connect to windows server 2003 through Microsoft.win32.taskscheduler? because 2003 server doesnt have GUI for Task Scheduler.

can anyone please help me on this..

Please look at the documentation here (https://taskscheduler.codeplex.com/wikipage?title=TaskSecurity&referringTitle=Documentation#remote) for information on the security considerations for connecting to 2003 servers at the bottom.

I have done this on Windows 8.1, XP and 7 without a problem. In my code, I'm setting the RegisterTaskOnAccept property of the TaskEditDialog to true and have a DailyTrigger that can set and unset the Trigger.Repetition.Duration to any value, including TimeSpan.Zero (Indefinitely), over and over using the UI. Will you post the code you are using to create the initial task and call the TaskEditDialog? I think it may be something with how you are calling the library.
