Yes it definitely can, I frequently run batchscripts via task scheduler on multiple machines including Windows 7. What happens when you try to run it? What result code does it produce?

Hi there,
I'm using Windows server 2008 R2 on one of my Pro Env, I have two batch files (See Block code)
Both should run when the user is logged off however only batch file number 1 is working
All setting are the same
any help will be great
P.S I'm straggling around this issue fora while
Batch 1:
set path="C:\Program Files\WinRAR\";%path%
cd D:\Xsense Services\Protocol\Logs
winrar a -df -ep -agDD-MMM-YYYY-NN Protocol_.rar -x*.txt
move *.rar \\xs-nas\Public\XS-App1\PP1
cd "D:\Xsense Services\ProtocolComm3\Logs"
winrar a -df -ep -agDD-MMM-YYYY-NN ProtocolComm3_.rar -x*.txt
move *.rar \\xs-nas\Public\XS-App1\PP3
cd "D:\Xsense Services\ProtocolZespri\Logs"
winrar a -df -ep -agDD-MMM-YYYY-NN ProtocolZespri_.rar -x*.txt
move *.rar \\xs-nas\Public\XS-App1\PP2
Exit
Batch 2
forfiles /p "P:\XS-App1\PP1" /s /m *.rar /c "cmd /c Del @path" -d -90 forfiles /p "P:\XS-App1\PP2" /s /m *.rar /c "cmd /c Del @path" /d -90 forfiles /p "P:\XS-App1\PP3" /s /m *.rar /c "cmd /c Del @path" /d -90 Exit

1. High jacking someone else's thread is generally considered rude... and makes it less likely someone will even view your question let alone answer it since the thread is marked as answered.
2. Your question isn't relevant to Windows 7, so would be better placed either on the Server General forum https://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/windows/en-US/home?forum=winservergen or the scripting guys forum https://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/windows/en-US/home?forum=ITCG
3. That said.. try running the second batch script from a cmd prompt and check what is output. Check that it works there, if it does then make that clear when you post to the relevant forum, and if it doesn't then if the output doesn't tell you what the issue is, include what error you get in your posting so others can see it.
