Recent Windows patches also changed the exit code of schtasks.

A new package will be released to address this.

I think you're looking for a software like com0com (https://com0com.sourceforge.net/, see ReactOS for modern Windows versions https://reactos.org/wiki/Com0com), which has a com2tcp.

@JamesG It's described here: https://docs.xcp-ng.org/troubleshooting/windows-pv-tools/#connecting-to-guests-using-serial-console

@manilx Interesting... It's checking for "ERROR: The system cannot find the file specified. -2147024894", which is why it's failing. What if you specified the command this way, with a backslash?

schtasks /query /tn \Copy-XenVifSettings /hresult ; echo $LASTEXITCODE

dinhngtu

@manilx What do you see when you run this command from PowerShell?

schtasks /query /tn Copy-XenVifSettings /hresult ; echo $LASTEXITCODE

@manilx Can you check if there's a Copy-XenVifSettings task in Task Scheduler and ~~delete it if it exists~~ report back? Normally it's supposed to self-destruct but maybe something went wrong there.

@conitrade-as Sounds like a problem somewhere in the clipboard stack, I'll look into that.

@conitrade-as There should be a fix for that in 9.1.145. Could you try it?

Hello all,

Version 9.1.145 Release of the Windows PV tools has been released.

(Despite the name, it's still signed; I simply dropped the "Signed" moniker)

Download the latest release here: https://github.com/xcp-ng/win-pv-drivers/releases

It will be integrated into the XCP-ng built-in tools ISO after a test period of 2 weeks.

This release brings the new XCP-ng Standard VGA Display Driver as well as multiple bug fixes to all Windows drivers and guest tools components.

Changes since 9.1.100

NEW: The XCP-ng Standard VGA Display Driver is now included in the package.
Improved: XenClean is now a single executable that's more convenient to use.
Improved: Better uninstalling of existing drivers.
Fixes: Automatic time sync is now disabled by default on new installations. NTP sync with W32Time is recommended instead.
- To disable time sync on an existing installation, use the Modify button in Installed apps.
Fixes: Xen Guest Agent now operates correctly during driver restarts and upgrades.
Fixes: Fix uninstallation of individual drivers.
Fixes: Improve stability and efficiency of Xenbus and Xenvbd.
