I am running a nt server using the at command. When a certain at command runs that uses a unc path. The process will result in an error stating that the path does not exist. However, when you typ the \\host name\share from the run command you are able to unc to the share.

The at command runs using the permissions of the Scheduler service. Open services in the control panel and change the account that the scheduler service is running as. Re-start the service and all should be ok.

The other option is to update to IE 5.5 or higher and update to the Task Scheduler. To do this you need to do a custom install of IE and select it manually.

Once done the each of the tasks can be assigned to run as a particular network account, thus it doesn't matter which account the service runs under.

Clear as mud? I hope not... Cheers,
Sam

I went to the services and tried to change the account. The account is locked with system Is there something that I am doing wrong. When I run the batch files manually, I have no problem.
 
You have to have admin rights or log on as the local admin to change the account
