How does Windows Task Scheduler in Win7 recognize a failed task?

Question

I am working with Windows 7 and I have an application that returns zero (0x0) when successful and one (0x1) on error situations.

I have scheduled this app using Win

Answer 1

Create a new task and set the custom event query like this:

  
    *[System[EventID=201]] and *[EventData[Data[@Name='ResultCode']!='0']] and *[EventData[Data[@Name='TaskName']='\YOUR TASK NAME HERE']]
  

Set the trigger advanced settings to Delay the task for a period of time like 15 minutes.

Configure the action of the new task to start a program:

Program/script:

schtasks

Add arguments:

/Run /TN "\YOUR TASK NAME HERE"

This will schedule the original task to run again 15 minutes after a non-zero result code is logged in the event.
