win32utils devel - Jan 2008 - win32-taskscheduler and TaskScheduler#account_information

Hi,

This library has needed some work for a while, so I''m finally getting 
around to it. I''ve made some changes and updates in CVS, so grab the 
latest source to test the issue below.

The first issue I''d like to tackle is why the 
TaskScheduler#account_information (GetAccountInformation) method fails 
if there''s no user associated with a given task.

The docs say it should return one of four values:

http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa381228.aspx

In practice I would simply expect an empty string. But what I''m seeing 
is that it returns some bogus error number.

Any ideas?

Thanks,

Dan

I think the document is wrong.
GetAccountInformation returns SCHED_E_ACCOUNT_INFORMATION_NOT_SET(0x8004130FL) 
when the account information is not set or not proper name/password. 

trigger = {
   "start_year"  => 2009,
   "start_month"  => 4,
   "start_day"    => 11,
   "start_hour" => 7,
   "start_minute" => 14,
   "trigger_type" => TaskScheduler::DAILY,
   "type"   => { "days_interval" => 1 }
  }
ts = TaskScheduler.new("foo",trigger) 
ts.save 

#Get account information fails with 0x8004130FL: 

ts = TaskScheduler.new()  
ts.activate("foo") 
begin 
  print ts.account_information
rescue
  print "An error occurred: ",$!, "\n"
end

#After setting account information like this:

ts = TaskScheduler.new()  
ts.activate("foo") 
ts.set_account_information("account","passwd") 
ts.save  

#Get account information works fine: 

ts = TaskScheduler.new()  
ts.activate("foo") 
begin 
  print ts.account_information
rescue
  print "An error occurred: ",$!, "\n"
end

Ok, thanks. I''ve updated the method to return nil if that''s
the result.
