Mapped Share / Scheduled Task

[Guest John Deakins]

We have a scheduled task created under User1 to run a script. The script

requires a mapping to a share. The share is mapped using User2's

credentials. The task runs fine as long as User1 is logged on and the share

is mapped properly. Once User1 logs off, the mapped share is disconnected.

 

Is there a way to have the share mapped even while the user is logged

off...so that the task can run when the user is not logged on?

Use UNC paths instead of mapped drives. Mapped drives are for humans, not

computers :-)
