I'm trying to use Task Scheduler to run a Ruby script every night. When I try to run the script, I get error 0x8007010B which seems to be Directory Name Invalid. The directory I'm starting in is a mapped network drive. Performing the equivalent action from the command line works fine. Here's the action I'm trying to perform along with a piece of the command line window showing that both directory names are valid.
Why is Task Scheduler claiming the directory name is invalid?
I had the same problem but more generic:
The Start in (optional) field doesn't support quotes (e.g. "C:\Program Files").
I removed them and it worked!
I worked around the issue by adding another Action in Task Scheduler to run net use M: <path to network folder>.
This task worked correctly when the computer was connected to a domain, but we took down our buggy domain server. For whatever reason, Task Scheduler used to know that M: was mapped to a network drive but now it doesn't.
