<p class="MsoNormal">We set up our internal application using QuickFix/n on a server as a scheduled task to run every morning at 4:00 a.m. Our app also utilizes sTunnel for data encryption. The task runs using a service account and we configured the task scheduler
to run whether the user is logged on our not. The problem we are having is that the task runs when no one is logged on to the server but is not able to connect to our third-party. We implemented logging and the log is showing that the target machine (which
is the server) is refusing the connection when our QuickFix app tries to connect. This will occur over and over. See log excerpt below.
