A lot of command-line utilities use custom error codes, so NET HELPMSG won't always
help, but NET HELPMSG <error_code> will usually point you in the right direction.
One thing you'll want to do is run the batch process in interactive mode and compare
the results against those acquired from running under the LocalSystem context. The
problem may simply be access,
but the combination of errors sounds like the process is trying to write to a CD or
trying to disconnect a LOCAL device.

You might find an additional information on the errors of scheduled tasks in a file
called SchedLgU.txt, located in %WinDir% (or get it by selecting Advanced\View log
menu in Tasks folder)
But in general, the exit messages from Task Manager are the standard NT (or
Win2K) error messages. You can get their description by running net helpmsg
YourErrorCode to get some description
Error 1 means Incorrect function
Error 2331 means The operation is invalid for this device
Make sure that your job is scheduled with a proper permissions. TaskScheduler service
runs under LocalSystem account, and if you need to copy a file from a remote place,
you need to run it as some
other user.

Subject: Win 2000 Task Scheduler - Error Code explanation
A batch program when run manually or scheduled to run in a minute or two (for testing)
runs successfully. When scheduled for after hours with no activity for about 6 hours
or so, the Task Scheduler
log file reports ..."The task completed with an exit code of (1)".
An exit code of (0) refers to a successful task. What does exit code (1) signify? As
I'm at it what does exit code (2331) imply? Where among the plethora of literature did
MS put an explanation of
these exit codes?
The Task Scheduler runs on a Win 2000 Adv server in an NT 4 Domain. The Batch job is a
simple copy and unzipping operation.
Thanks.
