Windows server Task scheduler Monitoring event id 111

The history of a task is tracked by events. These events can be viewed in Task Scheduler for each task to track when the task was registered, run, and when it completed or failed. The progress of a task can be monitored through its history. A task can be controlled by running or stopping the task manually (on-demand).

Event Details

Product:  Windows Operating System
ID:  111
Source:  Microsoft-Windows-TaskScheduler
Version:  6.1
Symbolic Name:  JOB_TERMINATION
Message:  Task Scheduler terminated the “%2” instance of the “%1” task due to exceeding the time allocated for execution, as configured in the task definition. Increase the configured task timeout or investigate external reasons for the delay.

Fix task configuration settings

The task was stopped due to a configured setting. Possible causes include:
•The task ran for longer than the maximum configured run time.
•The task was configured to stop when the computer switched to battery power.
•The task was configured to stop when the computer is no longer idle.
•The task was configured to stop when a new instance of the task is triggered.
