    Default Scheduled task doesn't run...

    Hi,

    I've setup a daily scheduled task in CF server admin (an intranet page which
    does all kind of updates to a table in SQL Server).

    But it seems it doesn't run! I setup the timeout like 600 seconds and I know
    it doesn't take that long (maybe 60-80 seconds max).

    When I try to run it from CF server (Run task) I get this:
    ----------------
    There was an error running your scheduled task. Reasons for which scheduled
    tasks might fail include:


    The URL is a redirection URL.
    The URL is protected by IIS NT Challenge/Response or Apache .htaccess
    password. The Username and Password text fields for editing a scheduled task
    are intended to support Basic Authentication only.
    The Domain Name lookup failed. Try using the IP address of the domain whenever
    possible.
    The URL is an SSL site, but the SSL port was specified incorrectly.
    The Web site is not responding.
    The directory specified for published results does not exist.
    ----------------

    The thing is that there are several other scheduled task set up by my
    colleagues (pages which calls stored procedures from SQL server) and when I try
    to run them manually (Run task) I get the same error...but the pages seems to
    work fine because the updating are done.

    So it is confusing to me...why their works (althought they get the same error
    when ran manually) and mine doesn't work...

    I've tried with a simple page like sending an email...and it works (even when
    ran manually).

    ColdFusion runs on IIS and SQL server is the database.

    Can somebody give me a hint? (besides putting all in a stored procedure)

    Thanks.
