Hi,
A particluar scheduled task is set to run in the windows 2008 server for every 5 minutes. It ran without any issues for the first time triggering an EXE. But for the next time, it fails to launch by itself and it throws the error code 2147750687.

I have to manually trigger the scheduled task every time when this issue happens. Can you please let me know the actual problem behind this error value. I tried to search the web but I could not get the clear answer.

According to this[^] the error means: "duplicate task already running".

So it seems that the task is still running. Perhaps you can find the answer on the page.
Since it works when you trigger it manually it may have something to do with security.

In that case you may want to take a look at this page: Task Scheduler Problem (run whether user is logged on or not)[^]
