Server 2008 Scheduled Task - Interact With User

Last Updated: 3/17/11

In Windows Server 2008 R2 the task scheduler is a lot different and the terminology is sometimes difficult to understand.

if you want to be able to troubleshoot a scheduled task then you need it to run interactively with the user session. You also need to use the same credentials as the console user. make sure you check the box, "Run only when user is logged on". This will allow the task to display and not be hidden while running. After you troubleshoot, make sure to change it back.
