As my title states, I am wondering if it is possible to show the command prompt window (at least temporarily) to ensure that my batch file is indeed being executed as scheduled. The batch file runs without errors when I run it manually.
The batch file resides on Windows Server 2008 R2 Standard, x64 and I have service pack 1 installed. Let me know if more info required.
Thanks much!

You can configure the script using the Task Scheduler app to run it on schedule. Or you can save the batch files in the "Startup" folder to let the system run them as soon as you sign into the account. If you want to run a script on-demand, you can use File Explorer or Command Prompt.
Right-click the Task Scheduler Library folder. Click the Create Task option. In the “General” tab, under the “Security options” section, select the Run whether user is logged on or not option. (This is the option that will make the command window not to appear when the task runs automatically.)
If you are trying to capture output, I like to dump to a log file. Put this as your program to execute in Task Scheduler:
myscript.bat >> error.log
If you REALLY want it to stay open, you could do -
cmd /k myscript.bat
