Samba is a steaming pile of stanky excrement that should die. Solaris Kernel CIFS is cool, once it gets stable...

There are bound to be gaps. Explicit enumeration in a mixed environment is always a good thing, especially when it comes to authentication. On Tue, Oct 13, 2009 at 11:20 AM, Joseph L.

Whatever the reason for it working as expected at the cli during an interactive session and not through the scheduled task is a mystery, but I added the ServerName\ to the username and rescheduled it to now and it worked...

To setup the IPC session so the UNC exists, I start the script with: rem Setup IPC$ net use \\Server /USER:user_name password But I get an error in the log: "A specified logon session does not exist. It may already have been terminated." Any ideas, obviously this works at the cli, just not when the job is run as scheduled.
