Hi, I assume that you want to be able to script this because with the new Windows 2000 scheduler service it is possible to change the user that jobs start as, but I believe you can only set this through the GUI. I had the same problem with my managed workstations and the way I got round it in the end was to copy the old NT4 scheduler exe file (ATSVC.EXE) into the SYSTEM32 folder on the Win2k clients, modify the registry under HKLM\System\CCS\Services\Schedule\ImagePath to point to the ATSVC.EXE and then restart the Scheduler service. This will then allow you to change the account under which the scheduler service runs and submit remote jobs to it. You may have to change HKLM\System\CCS\Services\Schedule\Type to a "12", which allows you to modify the settings through the control panel.
This has been working on my Win2k machines for about a year now so I can't see a problem with doing this on a server.

I need to add jobs to the NT scheduler, to run as a particular user. In the good old days I simply set the service to run under the desired NT account security context. Now however, it appears that is not possible. I need to add hundreds of batch jobs to several servers, so any suggestions are welcomed, perl based or not !
