Hi all, I am running a Windows Server 2008 64 bit Standard box and the scheduled tasks are driving me crazy. This is what happens..
I have about 5 important tasks (opening macro'd excel spreadsheets) that run at various times from 7am until 3pm. Every now and then they just stop working. Nothing I can find on the net has resolved (and I don't have SOXE/Windows Live Essentials).
When they stop working..
a) I can't even get any of them to run manually (On demand)
b) They just say 'Running' but nothing happens.
c) even a very basic tasks such as display a message on the screen will not run (so its nothing to do with permissions
d) The 5 tasks are all different excel files are all in different locations
The only way I can get it back working is to reboot the server (which is obviously annoying) but I rebooted yesterday to solve this problem and its come back in record time today).
Would anyone have any ideas at all what is happening here please?
Thanks
John
