SYMPTOMS
When you use Scheduled Tasks or the At.exe command-line tool to schedule a job that runs for more than 72 hours, the job may stop unexpectedly.



CAUSE
This issue occurs because the job's Scheduled Tasks settings are set to stop the job after 72 hours.



WORKAROUND
To work around this issue, set the job's Scheduled Tasks settings not to stop the job after 72 hours. To change the settings, follow these steps:
 * 1) Click Start, point to Programs, point to Accessories, point to System Tools, and then click Scheduled Tasks.
 * 2) Right-click the task, and then click Properties.
 * 3) Click the Settings tab, and then click to clear the Stop the task if it runs for: 72 hour(s) 0 minute(s) check box.
 * 4) Click OK.
