I'm missing something with the setup of a scheduled task. I have had a
scheduled job running on an NT 4.0 SP6a workstation running for 6 months to
do a periodic backup to tape. I have moved the data that was being backed up
to an NT 4.0 SP6a server with the same tape configuration. Internet Explorer
5.5 SP2 is installed on both machines.

I copied the job and the batch file that it uses to the server. I ran the
batch file logged in as the username that I used for the scheduled task. It
worked fine, so I left the scheduled task to run. When the time came for the
scheduled task, it started and stopped on the same second with a status of
0, but no backup was performed.

The username for the job is a domain user that is part of the administrators
group on the server (and the workstation).
The batch file contains "ntbackup backup d: /t daily".
I have checked the user rights on the server and they appear to be identical
to the workstation.
The task scheduler is running under the system username with interact with
desktop checked.

What have I missed?
