Set the daily export time
  • The export operation will run everyday at this time
  • For additional scheduling options, edit the task directly in Windows Task Scheduler

(Optional) Enable Logging
  • This causes each export operation to write its results to the specified log file
  • If the file doesn't exist, the exporter will create the file. Otherwise it will append to the existing log.

  • You can put in a URL to a...
    • SharePoint Document Library (eg. http://mysharepointserver/mysite/mydoclib/webview.html)
    • Network Share (eg. \\myserver\myshare\webview.html)
    • Local drive (eg. C:\myfolder\webview.html)
  • This defaults to inside the notebook's folder

If I done one time an export of a notebook, I can not export other notebooks, I get always the message "Failed to scheduled task "Export Notebook-..." Exit Code 1. Check If the task already exists in the task scheduler.
But I can not find an entry in windows task scheduler (>control panel > scheduled tasks), how I can reset or find the entry?

Would also be nice if the web folder could be exported to the PPC at sync time if the OneNote files changed. That is assuming the pocket browser can display the files. A PPC formatted web page set would also be especially nice. Dave
