SyncToy 2.0

[robmazco]

Running SyncToy2.0 on Vista, works great except for in Task Scheduler.
Its a simple folder transfer from one server to another.
I have it tasked to run every nite at 11:30
Ive added the parameter -R"Xcopy" where "xcopy" is what I named the pair.
Not sure what else to setup as this is in accordance with SyncToys Help info.

Anyone else have success with Visa Task scheduler and Synch toy?

Is there any information being shown in the History (logging) of this particular task?

Info 7/12 Event ID 107 - Task Triggered on Schedule.
Info 7/12 Event ID 101 - Task Start Failed.

Happens at very scheduled task time.
Ill check these event id's.

I am running at elevated so Im pretty sure thats not it.
Ill keep poking around and post results.

This talks about the "Start in" box, see if it gives you something to try or look at?

And you didn't run into problems with XCopy being a reserved (DOS) word?


Just my 2¢

..mm xcopy, thats what I called the job.
But I ran a test to start a few minutes into the future with a new pair. It failed and locked my account so theres something with saving the password and such. Im so believing its vista related.
Im going back and gonna create a good ol xcopy batch file, at least I know that works.
