Batch file problem

[Guest Glenn Clark]

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

Let's have a look at your batch files!

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.

Post thr Batch File, but if you´re using "%" in some commands (like "FOR")

you have to use "%%" insted

If you are trying to use mapped drives, this can be a problem. 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.

If the batch files are invoked from a certain path, you have to specify the

path in the "Start in" property of the scheduled task.
