Have recently set up a Windows Server 2012 and I have some scheduled tasks I need to set up that run .vbs files. These tasks are running ok on Server 2008 and the run ok when I launch them manually, however running them from Task Scheduler the vbs does not run and stays in "Running" state forever.
When I check Task Manager I see it creates a process called "OpenWith.exe".
