Hi All, this problem has been bugging me for ages, and I cant find anything useful to fix it. Basically, the scheduled tasks on our previous backup server (NT4 SP6a)would not run. You would schedule them to run, and they would just return a status of could not start (this is in the scheduled jobs window). The job is a simple batch file that runs NTBackup with a number of switches to make sure it does what we want. If the batch file is run manually by double clicking on it, then the backup executes without a hitch and everyone is happy. Recently a new server was added to the network, with a fresh build of NT4 SP6A and Internet Explorer 5 so we figured this would be as good a time as any to move the tape unit to this new server and schedule the backups to occur there instead. I had just assumed a problem with the scheduler on the previous server. Copied the script and modified it accordingly, and the exact same error occured right off the bat. The job could not start. I had hoped for at least a few months smooth operation before this sorta thing started happening again, but no such luck. Once again on the new server, the backup batch file runs perfectly.
I know that the NTbackup window has to be closed for the backups to start, but even that does not help. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
