view console of hidden task
I run a number of administrative tasks (using Task Scheduler). These tasks all run as an admin user that is different than the user that I log in as, but I have the user name and PW for the admin user. Most tasks run as a console process (either cmd.exe running a batch file or an EXE with console output.) Occasionally, a task hangs or runs a lot longer than expected. I would like to be able to see what is displayed on the console to see if that indicates the problem. Is it possible to force that command window to be visible to me?

As far as I know you would need to logon as that user in order to visualize desktop objects. Regards, Dave Patrick .... Microsoft Certified Professional Microsoft MVP [Windows] Disclaimer: This posting is provided "AS IS" with no warranties or guarantees , and confers no rights.

A workaround is to make the task to output to a file with the > redirector. Make a daily task to erase the log, or make the task create the log with %date%,%time%.MCP | MCTS 70-236: Exchange Server 2007, Configuring
