Sage Intelligence Task Scheduler after execution leaves Excel.exe process in memory. Process is not shutdown by task scheduler.

This is a known issue with task scheduler and is being investigated by Sage Intelligence development.

As a workaround, use a batch file to launch report and add in a task kill statement to clean process.

For example.

TASKKILL /F /FI "USERNAME eq <UserName>" /IM Excel.exe

(Note: Change <UserName> to Domain\User or Local user that has rights to execute in the operating system).
