Why are my scheduled tasks taking so long?
I have a Windows backup script .bat to backup my drive to another server. If I run the batch it works fine and will backup in about 1.5 hours. When I added it to a scheduled task however it will still fire off the same but will take 4 days to complete. Why would adding it as a scheduled task cause it to take so long? I have another Scheduled task that runs a script for Symantec Veritas, I do have any problems with this script/task.

Well it appears that I may have found the problem. I had the HIDDEN box under the GENERAL tab checked. I unchecked the box and everything is working fine, not sure why this would cause a problem but I wanted to post back what the cause was.
