Windows 2008 R2 SP1 Recently, several windows Tasks have stopped running. The last run result displayed is: The object invoked has disconnected from its clients (0x80010108). The dozen of other Tasks on this server continue to function and they all run under the same domain service account. This occurs for separate tasks which run a batch file and an application. Yes, looking around online it appears this error is related to various COM issues. However, neither of these tasks or the application/processes they invoke, utilized COM. Manually invoking the task runs to completion too. Here is a sample history from one of the failed tasks.

Thoughts on what the real problem might be?

Hi, Could you provide us with more details? What's that task? Also check the Event Viewer to find if there's any related information. The issue could be caused by various things. Regards, MiyaMiya Yao TechNet Community Support

One problematic task runs: \\FILESHARE\DEPARTMENT\SysOps\lib\copy_SPECIALNAME.bat Another task runs: D:\Tasks\FloorStockImport\FloorStockImporter.exe with arguments: /f:""D:\DATA\DGPHARMA"" /t=D No errors are present in the application/system event logs around the time the Tasks are invoked.

Bump. Zero ideas 'eh?

If you manually run that batch file and application, does it work? Try use Netwok Monitor to capture the network traces when run the task, and see if there's any clue. Regards, MiyaMiya Yao TechNet Community Support

Yes, as stated in the first post: Manually invoking the task runs to completion too.
