  I get the following if I (try to) cancel a long running task:

   

  ---------------------------
  Admin Console
  ---------------------------
  The constructor to deserialize an object of type 'Microsoft.Hpc.Scheduler.Properties.SchedulerException' was not found.
  ---------------------------
  OK  
  ---------------------------

  
   

  The task is the well known compute intensive script:

  Code Snippet

  :Wait
  ECHO.%DATE% %TIME%
  GOTO :Wait

   

  I ran this in the console and tried cancelling it.

   

  a. It wasn't cancelled

  b. I got the above exception.

   

  NOTE: This is NOT 100% reproducible (sometimes it actually gets cancelled )

   

  I also got the following, but not managed to reproduce it (yet):

   

  ---------------------------
  Admin Console
  ---------------------------
  The given key was not present in the dictionary.
  ---------------------------
  OK  
  ---------------------------
