I have several processes required to run using IE to update some data. I find that some processes work and others fail. If I run them manually they allways work, and the last run reports they have run. What I have discovered is if one IE process is running, I cannot start another manually as the scheduler stops it immediately. All other previous version worked is this a fault with windows web server 2008 r2 64bit machine

Hi, Please provide us more information and help clarify the following questions: 1. Do you use Microsoft IIS as your web server? 2. What are the functions of the tasks? Please help describe them more clearly. 3. When did the issue begin to occur? If recently, have you installed software, updates or hardware? 4. I’d like to confirm all the tasks can be run manually. 5. As you said that “I cannot start another manually as the scheduler stops it immediately”, did you receive any detailed errors? In History log, Event Log, or somewhere else? For further troubleshooting, please help gather the following files: 1. History log ============ Go to Task scheduler library, locate one failure task, go to the History tab, in the history panel, highlight all the items, right click and choose Save all event as…., name the file as test.evtx. Please repeat the steps on all the problematic tasks. 2. Event Log ============= 1. Click "Start", click “Run”, input "eventvwr" and press Enter. 2. Expand the "Windows Logs" node on the left pane, right-click on "Application" and click "Save All Events As"; in the pop-up window, click to choose the Desktop icon on the left frame, input "app" in the "File name" blank, and then click save. 3. Right click on "System", with the same method, save it as "sys". 4. Locate the two saved log files on the Desktop and send them to us.

1 IIS version 7.5 on Windows Web Server 2008 R2. 2 The tasks runs asp programs which import data into MYSQL database with Internet explorer. 3 The task scheduler alway reports in the Last Run Time that it has run with a last Run Result (0x0). but the data has not updated. 4 Running IE manually with Startup parameters works. 5 The problem is definately only one instance of IE can run at the same time. I have solved my problem by exporting the Task as an XML. Then by deleting the task and re importing the task as a Winows server 2003, windows XP, or Windows 2000. I noticed this option in available on import, and in this mode all problems disappeared. The only issue now is the IE windows tasks remain open even though I have Stop task if it runs langer than 4 minutes set. I would have liked to resolve this problem with you by sending the reports you asked for but I needed to resolve this very quickly. There are about 20 tasks needed to run daily to update data to feed about 400 sales people in our company. The fact that it works in 2003 mode would suggest a fault exists. Regards Gilbert
