Windows scheduler runs only a half of my script.

Question

Hi there. I have a problem with running my script by Windows Scheduler. When I start this batch file by clicking it, everything is fine, but the scheduler runs only half of it. It kills the process, but it is not starting "wfserver.exe".exe. I set up a scheduler to run it with the highest privileges, I also tried to set up a “SYSTEM” user to run it, and I am logged in as an administrator. I also tried creating a shortcut and set it up to be run as an administrator. Nothing worked. Any advice on how to fix it?

@echo off

if not "%minimized%"=="" goto :minimized

set minimized=true

start /min cmd /C "%~dpnx0"

goto :EOF

:minimized

taskkill /f /IM wfserver.exe

TIMEOUT /T 2

wfserver.exe --start

TIMEOUT /T 2 /NOBREAK

EXIT /B

Hello

Thank you for your question and reaching out. I can understand you are having query\issues related to Task scheduler.

In your batch please try to put full path of wfserver.exe for Example "C:\Programs files\wfserver.exe --start "

Also put a date /T and time /T in the beginning and in the end of that batch file, you will get the times it was at that point and you can map your script running time and order.

Adding the path solved my problem, thanks a lot! Could you show me an example of putting a date in a batch file? Thanks in advance.
