Create scheduled task on a W10 with snapins

[processor]

Hi,

This is my configuration :

Server :

• Ubuntu 18.04
• list itemFOG Server 1.5.7

Clients :

• Windows 10 20H2
• Fog Client 0.11.16

I’m trying to create scheduled tasks on Windows using Fog Snapins.

Unfortunalely nothing worked.

It tried these both scripts :

Batch (shutdown.bat):

@echo off
IF EXIST "C:\Users\AB\Desktop\Extinction_Auto" (
	echo "exist"
	COPY /Y NUL C:\Users\AB\Desktop\done.txt
	schtasks /create /sc daily /tn "MYTASK-DAILY-20PM" /TR "shutdown /p /s" /ST 20:00 > C:\Users\AB\Desktop\done.txt
) else (
	COPY /Y NUL C:\Users\AB\Desktop\notdone.txt
)

This Powershell script also (shutdown.ps1):

$trigger = New-ScheduledTaskTrigger -Daily -At 8pm
$action = New-ScheduledTaskAction -Execute 'shutdown /p /s'
Register-ScheduledTask -Trigger $trigger -Action $action -TaskPath "\" -TaskName "SHUT-DAILY-20PM" > C:\shutdown.txt

None of both worked, using snapin dedicated templates or not.

Both scripts works without any issue if I run them directly on a client.

I found another solution which is to add them in the startup folder of a client, but then I have modify the registery of the client to allow autoadminlogin to apply them.
But modyfiying the registery did not work either, even with a message telling “it’s done”, in fact it’s not. I tried to use PsExec to run commands but it did not worked with the snapins.

I’ll take any help or suggestion to apply these scheduled task or a change to the registery.

Many thank in advance.

@processor you can do bat with -> /ru “System”
schtasks /create /sc daily /tn “MYTASK-DAILY-20PM” /TR “shutdown /p /s” /ST 20:00 /ru “System” > C:\Users\AB\Desktop\done.txt

The fog-client runs as SYSTEM user (as a service) and you cannot compare this to manually running scripts.

Thanks, that’s what I was searching for !

I did not found in the forum how to make it as valid answer, any idea?
