Hi,

I'm running Vista home Prem.

 

I have set NIS 2008 to run a full system scan at 1am everyday through it's scheduling feature.

 

It has created a task in task scheduler as expected.

 

However, it will not wake the PC from sleep mode. And every morning when I awake the PC manually, the scan commences.

 

I have poked around it's task in task scheduler and enabled the tick box (wake the pc to perform this task" and checked the "perform this task whether user is logged on or not", I have also entered my password.

 

Still...no scheduled scan at 1am unless I change my power settings to "high performance" (always on w/screen saver), and then it runs the scan at the scheduled time.

 

Any suggestions?

 

Thanks!

Yes. Vista home SP1

 

And yes to NIS 2008.

Was there any change before or after installing SP1?

Nope. It never wanted to wake the PC before SP1 either.

 

I'm thinking the issue lies somewhere with task scheduler and the correct permissions etc.

hi Phyber_Optik - it looks like you've already tried using the Vista settings for this and it sounds like it didn't work. i'm wondering if you can successfully use the Vista scheduler to awaken to do anything. if you can get it to run notepad or something mundane it would demonstrate that the problem was not with the scheduler itself.

 

depending on how that works out, it looks like another user is working through this in another thread - more things to try :)

Is it the latest version you are running?
