monitoring windows tasks by SCOM 2007

[smeeta]

Hi,
i want to monitor one windows scheduled task.
i am going with Alert Generating Rules/Event Based/windows NT eventlog.
taking two parameter as:
event source equals app name
and Event Type equals Error.
what my concern is can it check whether the password has expired for the
scheduled task?

Thanks,
Smeeta

Hi smeeta,

If you want to monitor scheduled tasks, please take a look at http://contoso.se/blog/?p=206
but if you want to monitor the service account for a task you can check a
script like this http://contoso.se/blog/?p=232

Hi Anders,
i want to go with both monitoring the scheduled task and the service
account for that.
but how can i apply that script at http://contoso.se/blog/?p=232 to my
task. and how can it be monitored by SCOM?

Thanks,
Smeeta

Hi smeeta,

scheduled task has a logfile, that you can monitor according to my link.
The other script is a script that can check your service account if the password
is about to expire. You run them with time based rules.
