The thing is, it all worked for years in all earlier version of Microsoft using UNC connections. Now in 2008, it is screwed. I need to do some workarounds, as this is a "big bucks going into the bank" issue.

Scheduled Tasks don't have access to things like network drives when using the Microsoft SMB client. It's almost like they run in a different user profile. I would expect the same to apply to NetWare. Try using a local batch file as the Scheduled Task target. Have that batch file map the network drives, and then run whatever you want to run. You might still need to provide credentials to the NetWare client, but that's at least scriptable with a batch file. -- Ben ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~ ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~
