Hello All, I am trying to run a Schedule task on a Win2K box but the Task does not run. I am trying to run the task under the a userid which is also a part of the local Admin group.The task does not call the executable files and just shows as cannot run.FOr example i am trying to run the Calc.exe and it won't run through Schedule task but when i try to run the calc.exe normally it does oull up the CALC.exe . Could anyone please through some light on this. Cheers.

Does this user log on with a password? In Windows XP, task manager won't work unless you have a password. I can't remember if Win2K is this way as well.

1. Make sure you specify username/password 2. Make sure you are using same account as what you logged in as. For example if you have logged in using Domain account, and if you use local account for scheduling it will not work. In this case use domain account to schedule. 3. If it still doesn't work, in scheduled task look at the error message. For certain types of error it says exactly what the problem is. 4. If it still doesn't work contact us at http://www.tethyssolutions.com/ask-the-expert.htm (we offer free service)
