Guest Glenn Clark Posted October 16, 2008 Posted October 16, 2008 Hi All I have a couple of batch files setup for the admin account but seem to be having a problem. Both these batches deal with data on a permanently mapped drive. 1 remanes some file and deletes some and the other creates pst files. If I login as admin and run the batch files they work fine with no problems but if I use the schedule set to run under admin they say running in the scheduler but don't do anything. Anyone got any ideas Cheers glenn

Guest Dave Patrick Posted October 16, 2008 Posted October 16, 2008 Re: Batch file problem Scheduled Tasks|Advanced|View Log may provide some details. If the job connects to another machine you may need to add the user/ group 'logon as batch job' rights (server side). Control Panel|Admin Tools|Local Security Policy\Local Policies\User Rights Assignments "Log on as a batch job" If the task completes but the job does not then there is a problem in the job itself. Remember that if it involves network resources to make sure the user account has permissions to the resources and also use UNC paths as mapped drives won't natively exist when no one is logged on. -- Regards, Dave Patrick ....Please no email replies - reply in newsgroup.

If you are running a scheduled task using a batch file, always point to the mapped drive by it's UNC name (\<servername>\.....). Don't use drive letters. -- Regards, Hank Arnold Microsoft MVP Windows Server - Directory Services
