I'm having a problem with scheduling a task in Windows 7
I m creating a task which is mapped to a bat file to execute,
here is my .bat file :
cd "C:\soft\"
Start excel "" "AD Auto Run.xlsm"
its working automaticaly and manually when the option (radio button) "Run only when the user is logged on" is selected.
but the automatic/manual RUN is not working when the option (radio button) "Run whether user logged on or not" is selected.
I faced the same problem, but I found another solution without having to modify my batch script.
The only thing that I missed out is at the 'Action' settings - "Start in (Optional)" option.
Go the task properties --> Action tab --> Edit --> Fill up as below:
C:\Users\beruk\bodo.batC:\Users\beruk\(Do not put quotes around Start In)Then Click OK
It works for me. Good Luck!
I had this same issue.
The solution for me was found in the Microsoft KB Article 2452723:
Basically, edit your scheduled task and take the Quotes out of the Start In field:
To get the relevant error message:
1) Convert 2147942667 to hex: 8007010B
2) Take last 4 digits (010B) and convert to decimal: 267
3) Run: net helpmsg 267
4) Result: "The directory name is invalid."

I resolved the issue by performing these steps:
Create the empty Desktop folders at the below path:
C:\Windows\System32\config\systemprofile\Desktop C:\Windows\SysWOW64\config\systemprofile\Desktop
Make sure user has “log on as batch job” permission.
To enable this please follow below steps:
a) Go to the Start menu.
b) Type secpol.msc. and press Enter.
c) The Local Security Policy manager opens.
d) Go to Security Settings - Local Policies - User Rights Assignment node.
e) Double click Log on as a batch job on the right side.
f) Click Add User or Group.
g) Select the user.
h) Click OK.
Create a file and save it with .cmd extension. The .cmd file should contain below cmd:
In the scheduler, give the path as follows:
• Program/script: filename (.cmd filename)
• Start in(optional): file path (path to .cmd file)
