In Windows Server 2008 R2 I am running a batch as a Scheduled Task.
I know this is not usually the case, but I want to view the cmd.exe console window when it is running. Note that 'Hidden' under the General tab in Task Scheduler is not selected.
I have tried ECHO ON. When I double-click the .bat file, the console window opens. How can I watch this batch run in console with a Scheduled Task?

  • Thanks very much for the link. The task is already running under the logged on user account, and 'Run whether user is logged on or not'. This link: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/hardware/dn653293(v=vs.85).aspx has a white paper download that explains the "Session 0 Isolation" security changes that lead to not being able to view cmd.exe running in a scheduled task. There may still be a way around it, but I will need to figure that out from here (or not :). If I figure something out I will post it. In absence of that, I can always pipe it to a log file. – manstrocity Oct 31 '14 at 13:21
  • Not worth attempting to override security -- piping to a log file. – manstrocity Oct 31 '14 at 13:45
  • Doesn't work that way. The first user to log on is session 1. It doesn't matter if you are admin or other user. – manstrocity Oct 31 '14 at 17:20
