About Task Server extensions

The Task Server service itself does not perform tasks. It can be thought of as a central task controller, able to receive incoming task requests from client applications and delegate tasks to specified extensions. Tasks are performed by special ActiveX components called task server extensions. Task server extensions are to the Task Server what user interface extensions are to the PowerUser client application; they extend the Task Server with specific task functionality. The advantage of the Task Server is that it can process tasks on the server. The functionality does not rely on the configuration of the client workstation.
