Microsoft Excel Server execution failed error msg when running vbs or bat script from scheduler

I am trying to run a script that opens an excel file and executes several macros within the file and closes said file. The script runs exactly as expected when I run it from the command prompt manually.

However, when I schedule the a task to run the script, the script is executed up to the final stage and I get a pop up msg in Excel that reads “Server execution failed”.

Here are some of the things I’ve tried, all have yielded the same Excel error message:

• Schedule the task to run the vbs script using cscript.exe
• Schedule the task to run vbs script directly from cmd
• Set up a bat script to run the vbs script via cmd prompt
• Tried running 32bit and 64bit on each version
• I’ve put all the files and scripts in the same folder and tried all of the previous three
• I’ve played with the various settings on the task scheduler to run when I am logged on/off; computer awake etc.
• Customized configuration permissions via dcomcnfg and gave the user (me) “full control”
• Dropped “Authentication Level” to “None”

Other details:

• I am using Windows 10 64bit and Office 10
• The Excel file itself is saved as an xlsb file w/size 8,741 KB
• I have three other jobs that are similar to this one and all of them run without any issues
• I have admin rights on my machine
• The script is being run as me (i.e., using my profile/account)

This is the vbs script, "macro launcher" (originally sourced from here):

'Input Excel File's Full Path
  ExcelFilePath = "C:\Users\person\Desktop\script\filewithmacros.xlsb"'Input Module/Macro name within the Excel File
  MacroPath1 = "Module2.LoadAddins"
  MacroPath2 = "Module4.ForceCalc"
  MacroPath3 = "Module1.SendPDF"'Create an instance of Excel
  Set ExcelApp = CreateObject("Excel.Application")

'Do you want this Excel instance to be visible?
  ExcelApp.Visible = True  'or "False"'Prevent any App Launch Alerts (ie Update External Links)
  ExcelApp.DisplayAlerts = TRUE

'Open Excel File
  Set wb = ExcelApp.Workbooks.Open(ExcelFilePath)

'Execute Macro Code 1
  ExcelApp.Run MacroPath1

'Force Calculation

ExcelApp.Calculate

'Execute Macro Code 2
  ExcelApp.Run MacroPath2

'For a wait for calc to finish
WScript.Sleep 180000


'Execute Macro Code 3
  ExcelApp.Run MacroPath3


'Reset Display Alerts Before Closing
  ExcelApp.DisplayAlerts = True

'Save Excel File (if applicable)
  wb.Save

'Close Excel File
  wb.Close

'End instance of Excel
  ExcelApp.Quit

'Leaves an onscreen message!
  MsgBox "Your Automated Task successfully ran at "& TimeValue(Now), vbInformation

This script runs perfectly when we run it directly from the command prompt as

However, when we schedule the task to run a bat containing the same code (shown below), we get an excel error: "Server execution failed"

cd c:\windows\SysWOW64   C:\Windows\SysWOW64\cscript.exe  C:\Users\name\Desktop\script\MacroLauncher.vbs

The user account for the task is mine (admin rights) and I have tried both run only when logged on only/logged on or not options and both fail

the add argument is

/c "C:\Users\name\Desktop\script\scriptfilename.bat"
