Hi, I have a scheduled task that is setup to run a batch file. The batch file essentially calls a console application passing it a parameter. This seems ok as I can see in the process list the console application running. However the job of the console app is to load up X number of browsers pointing to a URL. When I double click the batch when logged in I can see all the browsers fired up. When I try running the Scheduled Task only the console app runs. It does not actually fire up the browsers. I am logged into the machine as the same user as the task that is running. Does anyone know what I am missing? Regards Jeremy

Thanks Wilson,Checked the User Rights Assignment and the account is there.Server is Windows Server 2008 Enterprise SP2The batch file is@echo offcall "C:\test\SilverlightStressTest.exe" 50 C:\test\Launcher.batand the Launcher.bat is @echo offcall "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Silverlight\sllauncher.exe" 253754274.echoEssentially the parameters tell the console app to launch this parameter 50 timesMany ThanksJeremy
