Hi- I have an exe that calls a webservice. We are scheduling it via Task, but it doesnt fire- times out. The user is a admin group, the exe opens a cmd console; all on a win08 box. Help? Thanks

Hi, There are several reasons which can result in such problem. For example: 1. The password for the user you specified when creating the scheduled task might be blank. 2. Task Scheduler cannot find the executable for the program that is supposed to run at the scheduled time because the path to it is set incorrectly. 3. The task was scheduled to run under another user account than the user currently logged on. 4. The Task Scheduler service might be stopped or disabled. You can verify the service is running if you click the Start button, click Control Panel, click System and Maintenance, click Administrative Tools, and then click Services and verify that the Task Scheduler service's status is Started. Also, you can view the event log to ensure the exact reason and then do troubleshooting. For information about an event or error message related to Task Scheduler, see Events and Error Message Center. Hope it helps!
