Can't open Excel when a file run from task scheduler

Why can't Excel open a file when run from task scheduler?

I wrote a powershell script that opens an excel workbook and runs a macro. When I run that script from PS console, or even from command line using powershell.exe script.ps1, it jus works. When I set up a task from the windows task scheduler, it raises an exception about that excel file, saying that it either does not exist or is already in use.

Solution 1

Create these two folders:

32Bit:

C:\Windows\System32\config\systemprofile\Desktop 

64Bit:

C:\Windows\SysWOW64\config\systemprofile\Desktop

Excel needs these folders if it's not run interactively.


Solution 2

Open Component Services (Start -> Run, type in dcomcnfg)

Drill down to Component Services -> Computers -> My Computer and click on DCOM Config

Right-click on Microsoft Excel Application and choose Properties

In the Identity tab select This User and enter the ID and password of an interactive user account (domain or local) and click Ok

Note: When setting DCOM permissions, if Microsoft Excel doesn't appear in dcomcnfg try mmc comexp.msc /32

$dbRule = Get-SPBusinessDataCatalogThrottleConfig -Scope Database -ThrottleType Items -ServiceApplicationProxy $bdcProxy

Set-SPBusinessDataCatalogThrottleConfig -Identity $dbRule -Maximum 1000000 -Default 5000

Restart Windows Service on failure and send mail - PowerShell

How to send email if a windows service stops?



In order to run a PowerShell script you first must define the program in this case you provide the full path to the PowerShell EXE.

C:\Windows\System32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\powershell.exe

The next you add in the remaining commands you want to execute when running the program. What I did was the following.

-command “& {C:\Skripte\ServiceAlertFromRecovery.ps1 ‘MSCRMAsyncService’ %1%}”


 Inside the script there are a few variables you will want to change. The items to change are all located near the top and are located in the “SendAlert” function.

• $FromAddress = The from address for the email.
• $ToAddress = You can use one or more email addresses separated by commas and all contained within the quotes.
• $MessageSubject = This can be changed based on your needs but most likely doesn’t need any changing.
• $MessageBody = This can be changed based on your needs but most likely doesn’t need any changing.
• $SendingServer = The IP Address of the SMTP server you want to use.

$ComputerName = (get-wmiobject Win32_Computersystem).name
$ServiceName = $args[0]
$ServiceDisplayName = (Get-Service $ServiceName).DisplayName
$TimesRestarted = $args[1]

Get-Service $ServiceName
$Status = (Get-Service $ServiceName).Status
If ($Status -ne "Running")
{
 Start-Service $ServiceName
}

function SendAlert
{
  $FromAddress = "ServiceFailure@domain.com"
  $ToAddress = "emailaddr@domain.com"
  $MessageSubject = "Service Failure for $ComputerName"
  $MessageBody = "The $ServiceDisplayName ($ServiceName) service on $ComputerName has restarted $TimesRestarted times in the last 24 hours. Please review server event logs for further information."
  $SendingServer = ""

  ###Create the mail message and add the statistics text file as an attachment
  $SMTPMessage = New-Object System.Net.Mail.MailMessage $FromAddress, $ToAddress, $MessageSubject, $MessageBody

  ###Send the message
  $SMTPClient = New-Object System.Net.Mail.SMTPClient $SendingServer
  $SMTPClient.Send($SMTPMessage)
}

Specified host is not present in cluster - Distributed cache

Use-CacheCluster
Get-AFCacheHostConfiguration -ComputerName ComputerName -CachePort "22233"



If you receive a message stating “Specified host is not present in cluster” one of two things occurred; you misspelt the ComputerName (or port), or the computer is in fact not present in the cluster.


Re-registering a computer is simple enough, from that Management Shell, execute the following cmdlet:



Register-CacheHost –Provider "ProviderName" –ConnectionString "ConnectionString" –Account “NT Authority\Network Service” –CachePort 22233 –ClusterPort 22234 –ArbitrationPort 22235 –ReplicationPort 22236 –HostName "ComputerName"

Note: Provider and ConnectionString parameters are located in the HKLM registry hive under Software\Microsoft\ AppFabric\v1.0\Configuration



Again start command:

Use-CacheCluster
Get-AFCacheHostConfiguration -ComputerName ComputerName -CachePort "22233"
