Two questions about RDP

1. Unstable (remote-side) running of a program that is specified when you prepare a RDP connection.
At RDP screen before connection, you have a chance to specify (an option of) "start a program upon RDP connection", I did that - the program *does* run OK sometimes while not other times! Why could the running tend to be unstable?

Btw, determining if a program is executed or not is just done by having the program write something to a file (on remote).

2. On remote machine through RDP session login, I can run a batch manually which does a drive mapping successfully, command is something like:

net use Z: \\tsclient\C

However, if adding this batch to Windows task scheduler for auto running, this drive mapping never happens. As a test, I just keep logged on (over a RDP connection), wait throughout the scheduled period of time and watched out - I did see the task was run (noticed Task window's status column update), however, no drive mapping done.

Is there anyway to accomplish my purpose? or this is not possible technically, say, this is intentional by MS?

Really appreciate anybody's advice and help! It would be even great to notify me via following email.
