I have two simple apps that I need to run nightly via the task scheduler. Problem is they won't. Both apps run if started manually and perform exactly as designed. The task scheduler is set to a local admin account (not SYSTEM) that also has Full control permissions to the apps and the shares. Still no luck.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

What do your apps do? Do you get any error messages, either from the app or in the event logs? Any advanced settings?

VBS needs a user to be logged in and active, not locked (as in ctl-alt-del, lock). It will not work otherwise.

A compiled VB app should work fine. Have you removed all UI elements (including MsgBox), and set the "Unattended Execution" option?
