Remote DB Access from Task Scheduler

I have set up a number of scheduled tasks which call cscript to run a number of VBScript programs. These are failing and after some debugging it appears that the scripts are not connecting to access databases on remote servers.

The scripts run fine when I run them manually - the connection issues only occur when the scripts run from the task scheduler.

I have give EVERYONE full access to the remote share that contains the databases in an attempt to rule out permissions problems but it still doesn't work.

Can anyone offer any advice.

I should also point out that I have some scripts that connect to local access databases and they run fine. The tasks are all set to run using the domain administrator account with the highest privileges.
