hi there, I have been having trouble rescently while trying to use the at comand. I have been trying to use it to schedule a zip & copy of a folder from my email server to my backup server. Here is what I have in a batch file: del \\backupserver\backups\folder1.zip c:\proga~1\winzip\wzzip \\backupserver\backups\folder1.zip -P -r c:\data\*.* If I run the batch file manualy, winzip zips and then copies the folder succesfully. However, if I run this batch file using the 'at' command, I get access denied when the delete command is executed and winzip will not create the new zip file. The scheduled execution of the batch file is carried out under the same admin profile as when I run it manually. Any ideas? Thanks, Donal

Somebody must have come across this problem before? Any ideas? Thanks, Donal

Is the Schedule service running under the system account. If so, try using an account that has access to the \\backupserver share.
