Hello all, I have been running into a problem consistently for months now, and haven't been able to come up with a solution. I have a script (I can post code if that helps, but the code doesn't seem to be the problem) that my organization needs to run daily. We are a small office so we want to have the ability people for multiple users to run the process in case somebody goes on vacation, gets sick, or what have you. I wrote the script, and after the usual testing and implementation process it runs just fine for me. It is a click-and-forget item, and the fact that I can run it successfully tells me the code itself is not the problem. There are sometimes network-induced problems- loss of connection, timeout and the like- but the script is solid. I run the process every day on a VM which is hosted on our organization's network. My coworker has access to this VM and regularly uses it as well. When he attempts to run the script, from the same place using the same process at the same time on the same VM, it fails. The script hangs without explanation, and will sit there until the user prompts action- usually by manually shifting window focus or similar means. Does anyone have an idea of why this would be? Is this a Windows issue (we run Windows 7), or maybe an issue with his account? Any help or ideas the community can offer would be greatly appreciated.
