Hi everyone,

We're in the progress of upgrading our intranet environment from IIS 4 NT4
Servers to Windows 2003 Server and IIS6 (Web Edition), and will therefore
migrate the current ASP code to this new environment.

In one of the ASP pages, a scheduled task is set up via Wscript.Shell and
while it's working under IIS4 it doesn't work in IIS6. No error messages,
exceptions are raised in IIS, ASP or the eventlog. In fact the
Wscript.Run("AT.EXE 15:24:00 /interactive /NEXT:8 C:\program
files\stoppressexe\OurExectubable.exe 234"), returns a value indicating it
has run successfully. However, no task is every scheduled. When trying to run
Wscript.Run("Notepad.exe") in the same ASP page, it runs successfully though.

Anonymous access is disabled on the site, and the web-application is running
under the defaultAppPool, which is running under the Network Service identity.

Any ideas, and workarounds available?

Thanks,
Jan
