The Next Run Time of AAU task
The Next Run Time of AAU task is the time when it is started and the connection to the remote FTP server is established.
How to stop an AAU task
To stop an AAU task you need to disable the AAU task explicitly; unlike Sync Task and Session Task, disabling the Task Scheduler does NOT stop any AAU tasks. To resume an AAU task, reenable it.
Dependency
AAU task has no dependency of any other task nor can any other non-AAU task have dependency on it.
