I have write a VB script to send a Email. (using redemption as workaround for
Security Patch)
It works when I execute it directly.
But when I put it into a WinXP scheduler, it display "Error in
IMAPISession::OpenMsgStore... "
I have outlook logon all the time. (via rpc/https)

Pls help...
Q1. It may be redemption problem ?
Q2. anyway to start outlook with predefined profile & passwod
Q3. any schedule issues ?

It's not supported to automate Outlook from script that's run via the Task
Scheduler:

The Outlook Object Model is unsuitable to run in a Windows service:
