SCP Server running on Windows 2012 R2

Hi, I'm running the SCP running on Windows2012 RC2. This service doesn't load properly upon startup, and I have to manually kick it every time. Has anyone experienced this issue on Windows 2012 RC2? I used to run it on a Windows 2003 server and it had no issues. Thanks

I also noticed that I get an unhandled exception error when trying to close the application. Msg reads as follows:

ScpServerTray.TaskSchedulerException: Error communicating with Task Scheduler. ---> System.InvalidCastException: Unable to cast COM object of type 'System.__ComObject' to interface type 'Interop.Taskschd.ITrigger'. This operation failed because the QueryInterface call on the COM component for the interface with IID '{09941815-EA89-4B5B-89E0-2A773801FAC3}' failed due to the following error: No such interface supported (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80004002 (E_NOINTERFACE)).

What's dying is the systray app, C:\Program Files (x86)\SolarWinds\SftpServerScpServerTray.exe. The server exe is C:\Program Files (x86)\SolarWinds\SftpServer\SolarWindsSftpServer.exe. It will stay running even it the tray app dies.

You can start the WIndows Services console, services.msc, and set the SolarWinds SFTP/SCP Server service to Automatic, and start it. It will keep running even if the systray app dies.

It is very annoying, though, and it seems like I've fixed it once or twice, only to have it try to eat my brain later. Setting it to run as administrator or to run in an earlier Windows compatibility mode has been reported to fix it, but it didn't work for me. We have inscrutable GPOs.
