Hello, i have a win7 64bit machine in a domain, runing a batch file every 2 hours. the batch file is doing a ftp connexion to an as400, start a MSACCESS macro and makes another ftp connection to the as400. The account used to run the task is the actual account connected. when i start the batch manualy, i can see the command prompt window opening and all the commands runing, i see the ftp connection, and access opening and closing. But when i manualy run the task from the task scheduler, i don't see the command prompt, i don't see access. but in the task scheduler i can see the status = runing, and in the process exclorer i see that all the applications (ftp, access) are runing in the correct order, so it works but there is nothing on the screen ?? what could be the problem ? Thanks for your help.
From the task scheduler, it is more than likely running in session 0, so you won't see anything on your screen. You could try switching to session 0 yourself - rundll32 winsta.dll,WinStationSwitchToServicesSession to revert - rundll32 winsta.dll,WinStationRevertFromServicesSession You might have to introduce a delay in your task to give you time to do the switch once the task has started
