ColdFusion8 Scheduled Tasks Failing on Server 2008

We recently moved our application server to Server 2008 from Server 2003, running ColdFusion 8.0.1 over IIS 7.5. Ever since moving, our scheduled tasks no longer run. We receive the following message:



 

There was an error running your scheduled task. Reasons for which scheduled tasks might fail include:

    • The scheduled task is paused
    • The URL is a redirection URL.
    • The URL is protected by IIS NT Challenge/Response or Apache .htaccess password.  The Username and Password text fields for editing a scheduled task are intended to support Basic Authentication only.
    • The Domain Name lookup failed.  Try using the IP address of the domain whenever possible.
    • The URL is an SSL site, but the SSL port was specified incorrectly.
    • The Web site is not responding.
    • The directory specified for published results does not exist.

None of these apply. If we run the URL direct from the server, the page executes correctly.

In the scheduler.log the error we see is: "Error while executing task Connection Failure: Status code unavailable"

If we redirect the task to a output file, we see: "Connection Failure"

I've seen other people having this issue as well, we have tried the keystore process, along with changing authentication in IIS, but neither of these have resolved the issue. Can anyone assist?

Thank you!

    After speaking with the CF technical dept, I've been informed that CF8 is not supported on Win2008srv, so we'll be moving these jobs over to our CF10 server.
