I have the following python script below that will execute if I run the module manually, but when I try to schedule it in Windows Task Scheduler, it doesn't finish. I have a log file being exported as part of the script and it prints down to 'Start Time' but doesn't make it to 'End Time' which seems to suggest it's getting stuck on the copy function.
Task scheduler settings:
1) Run whether user is logged on or not
2) Run with highest privileges
