C# and Windows Task Scheduler

[Dodecahedron]

I have a C# code which I have scheduled to run once a day. This works when I run it when I am there or schedule it when I am logged on. However if I schedule it to run at 6am, when I am not at work it doesnt work.

Does anybody know why?

Does your program access a resource on a different PC? Scheduled tasks run under the local system account when no one is logged on and cannot access network resources.

Try going into the properties of the task and set a user account for it to run as that has permissions to the network resources your program needs.

What did you use to schedule it to run?

Because the Windows Scheduler (aka the AT.exe command) can be set to run as another user, and doesn't depend on someone being logged in to run.
