The vast majority of all Scheduler issues are caused by
either of these:
- Inappropriate coding (e.g. failing to fully qualify executables);
- Expecting a screen output, waiting for user input
  (most scheduled tasks run invisibly in the background);
- Insufficient access permissions;
- Other coding errors.

All of these can be identified by implementing simple
batch file diagnostic measures. Since you've written
nothing at all about your specific problem, it is not possible
to suggest possible reasons for the failures you observe.
