Task Scheduler Last Run Result 0xff
To start a Windows service name Contain "abc 4.0(2010)" I think this is due to Special charactor and space.

I have other batch files scheduled that also complete successfully and return 0x0 as they should. The only difference I can see between these files is that the working ones end with: IF ERRORLEVEL http://serverfault.com/questions/67310/scheduled-task-returns-error-0xff-despite-success 1 ( ("notify me" script here) ) whereas the broken one ends with: IF %2==something ( (run a program here) IF ERRORLEVEL 1 ( (same "notify me" script here) ) ) Does an IF block return 0xff if false or something?

Putting the quotes in it makes it: IF ""=="SOMETHING" ( That's valid. share|improve this answer answered Sep 21 '09 at 14:05 Evan Anderson 127k12145287 Perfect. Thanks! –Kev Sep 21 '09 at 14:08 Remember! exit 0xFF means "syntax error in batch file"! –BobHy Jan 27 at 15:27 add a comment| up vote 0 down vote After some testing, I figured out that IF blocks are okay, they don't seem to change the error level, but what was messing it up was the "%2==something"--the times that were failing, there was no second parameter being passed to the batch file. So I'm not sure how to "safely" test for whether a parameter exists (i.e., without

Does anybody knows about a complete list? For example, I have not been able to locate anything about the error code 0xFF. EDIT:For example, if I add this task (for testing a command line program called "Notifu"): schtasks /create /tn "NotifuTest" /tr "d:\Temporal\Notifu\notifu64.exe task scheduler last /m 'Test'" /sc minute /mo 1 /sd 10/10/2010 /ru "SYSTEM" The same command has been verified working by command-line.

Windows Task scheduler usually runs other things (batch scripts, command line programs etc.), and these are the things that will have documentation on result codes. –Nick.McDermaid Mar 19 '14 at 1:43 Added extra info to original post, @ElectricLlama. Thanks. –Sopalajo de Arrierez Mar 19 '14 at 10:51 1 Yes, as mentioned below, notifu.exe has returned 0xFF (255) and windows scheduler is just echoing that. What does the notifu documentation say that means? If you can enable a log for notifu, you should do it and check the log. –Nick.McDermaid Mar 19 '14 at 12:07 add a comment| 3 Answers 3 active oldest votes up vote 4 down vote accepted Process exit codes are process specific. By convention a value of zero indicates success. The only re
