While scheduling a task Through Task scheduler : whether the Logged in or not options is not working!

Hi @ovi
Hi Team
I am Creating a scheduling Process in task Scheduler to automate the certain task at a particular time. In that we have two scenarios
i) run only when user is logged on
ii) Run whether the user is logged on or not.

In the first scenario, it’s working fine. But in the second scenario is not working ?

Is there any Possibilities to work on this issues or this features is supported by UiPath ?
any idea!!!

Windows task scheduler is not supported anymore. We recommend scheduling using Orchestrator.

Hi @ovi it is supporting while i am giving this “i) run only when user is logged on”

if i am setting this one is a problem “ii) Run whether the user is logged on or not.”

Why what is the reason ,In UiPath it is not supported ?

By “it’s not supported anymore” i mean we cannot forbid you to use it, but if it’s not working we don’t offer support for it. We don’t test it anymore since 2017.1 version therefore we wouldn’t know for sure what’s the issue.

Can you try with just the two activities: Take screenshot and Save image if it actually works?

Or you could use a condition, if Image Exists(input you img variable) to save it.

Hi ovi,

I found your post relates to my question below.
As I remember reading the 2018.2 release notes where it is said that using task scheduler is still supported for enterprise bot (not for CE).

So, our client is asking if we can still use task scheduler to run bot in the following situation:
*In total there are 2 workstations (WS)
*WS_1: Installs only an attended bot for production automation
*WS_2: Installs a enterprise version Studio, and an attended bot for develope and test automation
*No orchestrator

After looking around, the task scheduler can only run main.xaml files when the project is published.

So, the question is that if I publish the project in WS_2, is it possible to use task scheduler to run the published project in WS_1? (assume I’ll move all the proper files from WS_2 to WS_1)

The orchestrator is really a show stopper for small enterprise automations.

Thanks a lot!
