VB Script error when using Task Scheduler

It's the user running in CMD the same as task?

Is it using a mapped drive letter? If so, you may need to map the drive in vbs. Or, don't use drive letter.

Or, the administrator needs to authenticate first.

It's the user running in CMD the same as task? - Yes

Is it using a mapped drive letter? - No

Or, the administrator needs to authenticate first. - The user id being used in Task Scheduler is an administrator

Make a similar task which runs as same administrator:

cmd.exe /c dir "\\servername\source directory">"%temp%\result.txt"

Select allOpen in new window

Review result.txt.

Is the output successful? If not, that administrator is having problem reading that directory, i.e. may not have correct permissions

I couldn't get the cmd to run, it said the computer could not be found

I also found that the disk is a virtual disk

Please show your setup for this task. Mainly, the General, Triggers, and Actions tabs. This will expedite help.

Please post code of robodrive.vbs

Here you go
roboDrive.txt

Questions...

1. Under General, is user account D9HG2961\DeeDee a local account?

2. Is S: a network drive letter?

D9HG2961\DeeDee Is a little local account
The drive is a virtual drive

Since D9HG2961\DeeDee is a local account, it does not have access to virtual drive S:.
You need to use the account and credentials used to access the virtual drive.

In your vbs, add lines like this to the top of your script:

' Map virtual or network drive letter
Set objNetwork = CreateObject("WScript.Network")
objNetwork.MapNetworkDrive "S:" , "\\WhateverServerName\WhateverShareName"

' Rest of code...
Set oShell=WScript.CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
'*************** Power Shell
REM Set Source Folder
strSource = Chr(34) & "S:" & Chr(34) 

REM Set Destination Folder
strTarget = Chr(34) & "C:\backup" & Chr(34) 

strParms = " /e /xo /R:5 /W:5 /LOG+:" & Chr(34) & "C:\bat\logs\bat.log" & Chr(34)
oShell.Run "robocopy " & strSource & " " & strTarget & strParms

Select allOpen in new window

That is the account that has access to the drive

That user uses the data on that drive exclusively all day

Why would the script work from the cmd line and not from task scheduler if there’s an access problem

> Why would the script work from the cmd line and not from task scheduler

IDK.

Try this... Make a new scheduled task.

General:
- When running the task, user user account... ( Make sure it matches the user as the robocopy task ). If not, pick 'Change user or group' button to adjust it.

Triggers:
- One time. Set a time a few minutes earlier than what it shows so it doesn't run. You'll run it manually later.

Actions:
- Start a program: cmd. Add arguments: /k

OK to save it.

Manually run it. This opens a CMD window.

Type dir s:\

Can you see the files in that drive?

You can even run the script to see if it works via cscript c:\bat\robodrive.vbs

Both run with no errors
