Greetings,
We encountered what seems to be a VisualCron "bug" either relating to installing .NET 2.0 Service Pack 1 and/or re-starting the server running VC. One of our file "created" triggers disabled itself as part of this re-initialization process. Under the "Expires" tab for this trigger, "Expiration enabled" has been and still is unchecked. So the question remains: How did the "Active" checkbox become unchecked for this file trigger? Nothing in the logs indicate the respective job was modified in any way. Is this a known issue?

Here is the server_startup.txt log file output. I have bolded the line of interest. Is it possible that this particular file trigger was mistakenly identified as an "expired" trigger during this initialization process?
