I have an application which gets called by a scheduled task. It moved from Windows Server 2003 to Windows Server 2008. On 2003, the app ran in the directory where the executable was located.

Hi, I have an old scripts which kicks off a scheduled task: schtasks /end /tn MyTaskName /s HOSTNAME I am now trying to use it on Windows 2008, but it doesn't work.
