But tell me, Xiaofeng , when I proposed earlier much of the same that people have said today, you said in reply the other day that you HAD used the EXACT same URL in your browser (run from the server) as in the sched task.
So when you refer now to changing the sched task URL to use“not localhost, not 127.0.0.1 but the public IP address”, are you saying that IS or IS NOT what you tested before when you ran the test in your browser on the server? Perhaps you thought this was not significant, but it would be. It’s the IP address (or domain or machine name) in the URL which influences what IIS site handles the request. You may have windows auth on in one site, and not the other. And you may have been going to different ones all along. /charlie From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Xiaofeng Liu Sent: Tuesday, November 17, 2015 11:48 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: Re[2]: [cfaussie] CF11 Scheduled Task Not Running - 401 Unauthorized I figured this out, sort of. Now I changed sched task URL to use the public IP address of the server, I got status 200. So not localhost, not 127.0.0.1 but the public IP address. I guess this is due to the server got multiple NICs so that localhost cannot be resolved somehow?

Put a simple .txt file and try to fetch it using CFHTTP, 100% you will end up with the same HTTP error 401. Why? Browser (no matter if it running in generic or private browsing mode) is using your credentials (domain or local account) to negotiate access with IIS, while CF server is run without these permissions. Google "http error 401 IIS" and you can find following link with 5 reasons IIS refuses to authorize CF: http://blogs.msdn.com/b/david.wang/archive/2005/07/14/howto-diagnose-iis-401-access-denied.aspx So, check your IIS logs for sub-401-code to determine cause of your problem.
