Scheduled task on Windows 2016 EC2 instance will not run

I cannot get a scheduled task to consistently run on a Windows 2016 system.  The system is an EC2 instance in AWS, and I need it to run a task that essentially calls a .bat file on the local system.  The .bat file then runs a .vbs file on a mapped drive and runs it in the SysWOW64\cscript.exe context.  Initially I was getting errors related to the CLSID and APPID not being able to run using the configured account, and used the DCOM configuration to add the required permissions.  After doing that, I have been able to occasionally get the task to run, but for the most part it does not.  I've been searching for a resolution and have found a number of suggestions, none of which have worked.  When I look at the history of the task it indicates that the task completes successfully, but the end result of the task is that a new folder is created on the mapped drive and two .xml files are deposited there, which in turn are used to update a database for one of our applications.  In spite of the history showing that the task completes, the new folders and files are not created.  I can run the batch file manually and it succeeds every time.  I have tried configuring the task to open the batch file on the local drive, to open the cscript.exe application and add the path to the .vbs file as an argument, given it a "Start in" value, etc, etc, and nothing will work consistently.  I'm looking for other ideas to get this thing to run.  Any thoughts \ help is greatly appreciated!
