I have a .vbs script which starts QlikView, does some selections, exports some data, and then closes QlikView again. I want this script to run on the server every night.
We are using Windows Server 2008 R2. I have scheduled the script in Windows Task Schedulerer. When I set the task to "run only when the user is logged on" it has always worked. When I changed it to "run whether user is logged in or not", at first it did not work at all.
I searched for solutions, and it seems Windows Task Schedulerer doesn't allow tasks with a user Interface to "run whether user is logged in or not". But you could trick it into do it anyway by creating two empty folders named "desktop" under "systemprofile".
I created those two folders, and now the script does work even if I select run whether user is logged in or not". However, it only works when I am actually logged on. The data is not exported at night, as it should. Instead I see a message in Task Scheduler, that the task was aborted by the user.
Does anyone know why I get this error, and how I can get the script to run every night? Will it help to upgrade Windows?
