Guest bretty83@gmail.com Posted November 22, 2007 Posted November 22, 2007 Sorry to bother, but I was wondering...what is the difference between scheduled tasks in Server 2k3 compared to them in Win xp pro SP2.... Reason I ask is, I've got backup scripts running to a NAS...on the server they are working perfectly, but using the same method on xp, they just don't want to run...security and paths are all correct, no issue talking to anything... Can anyone give me any thoughts/insight into the matter? Thanks...
Guest Mathieu CHATEAU Posted November 22, 2007 Posted November 22, 2007 Re: Scheduled Tasks Hello, any GPO restricting user to "log on as a batch" ? does it work if you manually launch the batch ? Any error in the scheduler task journal ? -- Cordialement, Mathieu CHATEAU English blog: http://lordoftheping.blogspot.com French blog: http://www.lotp.fr <bretty83@gmail.com> wrote in message news:6666adbe-e55b-4fbd-b7e3-b263bd6de815@s36g2000prg.googlegroups.com... > Sorry to bother, but I was wondering...what is the difference between > scheduled tasks in Server 2k3 compared to them in Win xp pro SP2.... > > Reason I ask is, I've got backup scripts running to a NAS...on the > server they are working perfectly, but using the same method on xp, > they just don't want to run...security and paths are all correct, no > issue talking to anything... > > Can anyone give me any thoughts/insight into the matter? > > Thanks...
Guest Meinolf Weber Posted November 22, 2007 Posted November 22, 2007 Re: Scheduled Tasks Hello bretty83@gmail.com, What is the error message? Under scheduled tasks you should see an error number, if it not run correctly.

I've looked all through the event logs and found no issue, and If I run the backup script it works, if i manually run the scheduled task, it does not... incredibly annoying, I wasn't aware there was a difference with scheduled tasks between svr and xp....
Guest Meinolf Weber Posted November 22, 2007 Posted November 22, 2007 Re: Scheduled Tasks Hello bretty83@gmail.com, Scheduled tasks is an option under start>control panel.

Guest Dave Patrick Posted November 23, 2007 Posted November 23, 2007 Re: Scheduled Tasks 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.
