I set up Task Scheduler to, once a month, run robocopy to sync two
drives. To do this, I created a *.cmd file and had it run that. Two
days later, the Last Run Result is "The task is currently running.
(0x41301)". My question is... how can I view the current progress of
robocopy? In Windows XP, a command prompt would pop up when a
scheduled task like this was initiated and you could just look at
that. In Windows Vista, nothing pops up, so I can't check the status
as I could have in Windows XP.

Any ideas?

Here's an idea (not knowledge).

Can you set the task to run with a normal window, not a background window?

I imagine this either as a setting on the cmd file or in the scheduler
settings for the task.
