New Post: Taskscheduler file access problem in Windows Server 2012

Windows 8 and Server 2012 run the same updated library from Microsoft. There are some new security considerations. Check the following links for more information. If I had to guess, it sounds like the account used to run the task (either by setting it during registration or the one used to connect to the TaskService instance) does not have the rights to the file or the executable is not being run in Administrator mode so UAC is getting in the way. There are other discussion threads about both with answers.
