I have 5 win2k servers. Last year I ran into a problem where I could not schedule a batch file to run in the task scheduler. The batch file would run successfully when I clicked and ran it manually, but would fail as a scheduled task. I think that I ended up using the local administrator account to run the task in the scheduler instead of the domain administrator account, to fix that issue. I also stopped using xcopy and substituted it with a robocopy command that seemed to fix my problem. That problem was happening on a 2k member server. Not the main Active directory domain server.
My new problem is that I need to schedule a task on my main active directory domain server and I am back to the same problem. To make things worse, I can’t use a local account because they don’t exist on an active directory domain server. Only domain accounts seem to exist. To make a long story short, I could use some advice as to how I can schedule my batch and actually have it successfully run on my main domain server. Any ideas?
