Task Scheduler doesn't execute batch file properly

问题

I have a batch file to run a powershell program. When I double click the batch file, it runs the powershell code to

generate an EXCEL spreadsheet
email this EXCEL spreadsheet

I even see this action happening.

However, when I use Task Scheduler to execute the batch file, it will run, but it will neither generate an EXCEL spreadsheet, and it certainly won't email the EXCEL spreadsheet.

I have created other tasks to run other batch programs to execute powershell programs, and I never had this problem.

I manually run the batch file with the same permissions used in the Task Scheduler, and have no problem.

I specified the complete path of the batch file in the Task Scheduler.

How do I even start troubleshooting this?

And here are the contents of the batch file that runs if I double-click, but not if I schedule through Task Scheduler

C:\Windows\System32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\powershell.exe D:\Script\generate_GUPs_report.ps1

And here is action in Task Scheduler

回答1:

I had a similar problem trying to schedule a script that automates Microsoft Word. In my case, I was eventually able to work around it by setting the DCOM Identity.

Steps

Start > Run: dcomcnfg
- If you're running 32 bit office on a 64 bit OS, use mmc comexp.msc /32
Expand Component Services > Computers > My Computer > DCOM Config
Find Microsoft Excel Application
Right click, Properties, Identity tab.
Set it to This user and put in the same credentials you put in for the scheduled task.
