I am running a MSBUILD script which disables and enabled a scheduled task from command line. I am getting following error. No idea, what 'exited with code 1' means. When I try to copy paste the line in command prompt, it works perfectly. I doesnot run in MSBuild script which is in turn called by CruiseControl.NET

ERROR is

The command "C:\WINDOWS\system32\schtasks.exe /S servername /Change /RU SYSTEM /TN "MyScheduledtask" /DISABLE" exited with code 1.
