Hi,

i'm trying to monitor my schedule tasks on all servers to know if they had
run and if not why did they not run, by sending a email for example.
I tried using a script to read the log file generated by the tasks but whith
no success.
any ideas please.

Thank you.

I think you're trying to monitor the wrong thing. After you
have scheduled a task correctly, it will keep on running
unless you change the password for the account it uses.
It is far more likely that you get errors within the task
itself, and these are not necessarily reported in the Task
Scheduler log file.

I consider it much more useful to monitor the key
activities within a task and to use a command line
mailer to report the results. If you use ntbackup.exe,
for example, then you could mail yourself a copy of
the backup report once every week and also when an
error is reported.
