First of all, keep in mind that task history is disabled by default. &nbsp;You will need to toggle it on under the <b>Actions</b> section when you first open the <b>Task Scheduler</b> interface.<br />

As for the problematic task itself, perhaps it's a privilege problem. &nbsp;Have you tried configuring the task to run using the <b>System</b> account?

The issue was that the batch file path contained spaces, when I removed them - it worked.

Hi Experts,<br />
<br />
I'm trying to create a simple task that will execute a batch file every 15min. &nbsp;I did this by specifying under Actions, Open Program &quot;D:\Scripts &amp;&nbsp;BATs\Backup CSS_Res SQL.bat&quot;<br />
<br />
If i right-click and run the tasks, it hangs, but when I copy/paste &quot;D:\Scripts &amp;&nbsp;BATs\Backup CSS_Res SQL.bat&quot; under run, it executes it under 1sec.<br />
<br />
Furthermore, in hoping that the history tab would give me more details, but it is noted as <b>(disabled)</b><br />
<br />
Any feedback will be appreciated greatly.
