Geocoding a table with ArcGIS Online tasks via stand alone Arcobjects project

Question

Does anyone know if you can still geocode a table of addresses using the ArcGIS Online task server with the realease of 10.1 or does batch geocoding via Arcobjects outside of an ArcMap session require a subscription to ArcGIS Online?
 
My Arcobject batch geocoding calls using the ArcGIS 10 style North American Address Locator (TA_Address_NA_10) are now only returning records with an accuracy of postal codes...

I have verified that I have this problem on 2 other computers, all running ArcGIS 10 SP3. Can anyone duplicate this problem?

Can you rename the Address field to Street in your input table? The other perfect solution for now would be to change the code to map to both Address or Street.

OK, I have been doing some testing under the assumption that the ADDRESS field has some corruption, but that really doesn't seem to be the problem.

To clarify, I am running ArcGIS 10 SP3.

I created new tables in 3 different formats: FGDB, PGDB, and SDE (SQL Server) with the following fields: ID, Address, City, State, Zip and tested them all with no data and some test data.

If I run the Geocode Adresses tool, either from the geocoding toolbar or the toolbox, AND I select the tasks.arcgisonline.com\Locators\TA_Address_NA_10.GeocodeServer (ArcGIS 10) as my locator, the tool fails to recognize the ADDRESS field.

If I run the Geocode Adresses tool, either from the geocoding toolbar or the toolbox, AND I select the tasks.arcgisonline.com\Locators\TA_Address_NA.GeocodeServer (ArcGIS 9.3.1) as my locator, the tool successfully recognizes the ADDRESS field.

If I try to run the ArcToolbox Geocode Adresses tool via ArcObjects AND use the TA_Address_NA_10 GeocodeServer, it also fails in that it only returns CITY locations. I am assuming it is failing to pick up the ADDRESS field even if I map the fields.

I am starting to believe that this is not an ArcGIS Online issue and more of an issue with my ArcGIS installation. This problem was not present about two weeks ago. Also, in that time, I have started having trouble reading layer packages within ArcGIS Explorer unless they are created with 9.3.1 data formats included. My next step will be to try on a different machine.
