Scheduled Tasks wont run

Question

I had recently upgarded to CF8 from CF7.

After the upgrade non of my Scheduled Tasks are running.

Even when i trigger the tasks manually from CFAdmin I get the response "This scheduled task was completed successfully."

But nothing really runs. My application is using Integrated Windows Authentication and the schedulled tasks were running fine with CF7.

Now when i switch off the Windows authentication, the scheduled tasks are working fine.

Could you please tell me why my Scheduled Tasks are not running when i turn on Windows authenticaton, where as it was working perfectly with CF7.

ColdFusion schedule tasks CAN NOT run under windows integrated authentication. ColdFusion is not a windows product, it does not pass the NTML headers with requests. You have to turn off windows integrated authentication for any resource you would like to run as a schedule task. Helpfully, you can set that permssion to individual files and|or folders so you do not need to turn it off for the entire site.

I don't know why this would change after an upgrade, unless you built a new CF8 server with a newly built IIS as well.
