Issue 20:
Description: If the Remote task is running, it cannot be deleted from Task Execution History pane, though it can be deleted by
right-clicking the task from Task Tree pane.
Issue 21:
Description: For Deploy Server Administrator Task, after the task is created, the task status may say pending while the task
icon shows the Task complete. This means that the Deploy Server Administrator package i.e msi or msp has been downloaded
successfully though the task execution is still pending. Once the task starts execution the 'task complete' icon will change
accordingly.
Issue 22:
Description: For Remote Task and System Update multiple selections of task is not supported.
Issue 23:
Description: Even though a task is Run Now task, or if the task does not have a valid schedule associated with it, right-clicking
the task in the left side task pane shows the Activate Task Schedule option. Though, activating the schedule will not do
anything as there is no schedule associated with the task.
Issue 24:
Description: If you activate schedule for cloned sample tasks without adding targets, it may display a message for entering
credentials for targets since the schedule cannot be activated without valid targets. To avoid this message, add valid targets for
the cloned task before activating the task schedule
Issue 25:
Description: In view mode of the Task, you are able to see the Task Targets. You can also expand the tree to view sub-targets.
Though, any selection made here is not saved, this has been made viewable so that you know all the targets associated with the
task.

Description: Sometimes when editing the remote task the target selection is not seen. To see the targets, cancel or close the
edit window and re-edit the task to see the target selection.
