Re: scheduled task never run on RDP?

You can monitor a scheduled task via a console or RDP
session if
a) you log on first under the same account as used by the
scheduled task, and
b) the scheduled task starts after you have completed
the logon process.

The usual method to monitor a scheduled task is by
placing its commands into a batch file, then collecting
the standard and error output from each command into
separate log files.
