If you're using the "Task Scheduler" service, look at the GUI in My Computer. If you're using the "Schedule" service, everything is run under the account that was used to start the service.

The backup is a simple batch file that copies several directories onto a DVD. Problem is that we want this to run under a specific account, but the schedule service is not letting him change from the system account to a named account in the 'Log on as' dialog - the option to log on as a specific account is greyed out (the radio button and the account field). You can't change from the default system account option. I haven't checked to see if all the services have the same problem, but my assumption is they do. Anyone seen such a thing? I'd give better details except I'm not onsite with the machine yet. I will be in a couple of hours. I've doen some checking on MSDN and haven't seen anything helpful as of yet. ------ You are subscribed as [EMAIL PROTECTED] Archives: http://www.swynk.com/sitesearch/search.asp To unsubscribe send a blank email to %%email.unsub%% ------ You are subscribed as [email protected] Archives: http://www.swynk.com/sitesearch/search.asp To unsubscribe send a blank email to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
