Problems we've had are mostly with CF not recognizing a scheduled task, or
not updating it when changes have been made. I'm not sure we've ever seen
"intermitant" running of scheduled tasks, where it just doesn't work
sometimes, but works other times.
If reliability is an issue, then don't use the CF scheduler. It's really as
simple as that. The built-in NT scheduler has never failed us, and third
party schedulers for NT are inexpensive, simple to use, and 100% reliable.
For some people, CF scheduler works flawlessly. If you have room to test it
in your environment and can monitor it, see if CF's scheduler works for you.
I monitor scheduled events by either having CF send an email to me upon
completion and/or having the task make entries into a log file.

If scheduled tasks are going to fail often, then the reliable answer will be
to have this done manually.
