Help Needed With Vista Business Task Scheduler

[Urbane.Tiger]

I want to start a program when ever a User Account becomes the active account and to stop the program (using TaskKill) when a User Account ceases to be the active account

To start the program I set up a scheduled task (Start) triggered by User Logon, User Local Connect and User Unlock. To stop the program I set up a scheduled task (Stop) triggered by User Local Disconnect and User Lock.

The program is not started when triggered by a Logon trigger but it is started on a Local Connect or User Unlock triggers.

The difference is manifested in the events that are logged - these are the events logged (presented as a stack - ie last event at top of stack)

Logon      Connect      Task Category                  Op  Code
---Event Id---
102                     Task Completed                   (2)
201                     Action Started                   (2)
129           129       Created Task Process             Info
200           200       Action Started                   (1)
100           100       Task Started                     (1)
319           319       Engine Received Message          (1)
119           120       Task Triggered                   Info

It seems that those last two events actually terminate the program - can anyone explain what's happening here, and how I can fix it.

Hi Urbane.Tiger

Has the password changed for the account that the task was created under? Also what does the Windows Applications/System logs say?

Has the password changed for the account that the task was created under?

Yep - from "password" to nuthin - what is the significance of password change

Also what does the Windows Applications/System logs say?

Application logging is Off - I could turn it on, but whether I can interpret it is moot, probably need to contact developer.

Where do I find the system logs.

Will not be able to do much until middle of next week as system is being sent up country 2mora AM my time (GMT+10) and I wont follow it 'til next tuesday.
