    I have created a vbs script that  schedules a task to execute a batch file daily.The task gets scheduled but the batch file does not gets executed

                


    Function DeleteLogFiles
     Dim sDomainUserName, sCommand, iReturn

      On Error Resume Next
      LogDetail("Start: Function DeleteLogFiles")
      'sDomainUserName = "s-" & Mid(sComputerName, 3,4)
      sCommand = "SchTasks.exe /delete  /f /TN " & chr(34) & "DeleteLog" & chr(34)
      LogDetail(sTab & "Deleting old DeleteLog task.")
      iReturn = oWShell.Run(sCommand,7,True)
      If iReturn <> 0 Then
    LogDetail(sTab & "ERROR! An error " & iReturn & " occurred while deleting the old task.")
    bCriticalErrors = True
      End If
    LogDetail(sTab & "This is a server, using s_GnightSrvr.ini")
    sCommand = "SchTasks.exe /create  /RU " & sScheduledTaskUser & " /RP " & sScheduledTaskPassword & " /SC Daily /TN " & chr(34) & "DeleteLog" & Chr(34) & " /TR " & chr(34) & "C:\winstore\apps\DeleteLog.bat" & Chr(34) & " /ST " & sNextDeleteTime & " /SD " & sNextDeleteDate 
      LogDetail(sTab & "Re-creating DeletLogFiles scheduled task.")
      iReturn = oWShell.Run(sCommand,7,True)
      If iReturn <> 0 Then
    LogDetail(sTab & "ERROR! An error " & iReturn & " occurred while re-creating the new task.")
    bCriticalErrors = True
      End If
      On Error goto 0
      LogDetail("End: Function DeleteLogFiles")
     End Function

    This is the function of the vbs script

    First remove the "On Error" line.

    If you don't handle errors then don't ignore them

    Where did you find this script.

    Why do you need a VBS script to create one task?

    What batch file are you referring to?

    Can you please format you code so it is readable and post using the code posting tool.
