Schedule task at login via script

[rollox]

Howdy,

I would like to know how to add a scheduled task via a login script (if it possible). The script I created produces an access denied error message when it runs. I think it is user permissions related and I know there is no GP preventing access.

I do not wish to elevate user permissions on the desktops but on a test account I made the user a local admin and the AT command is executed OK.

Below is the script:

@echo off
at 10:00 shutdown.exe -s -f
exit

Any suggestions would be most welcome.

Cheers

I'm not sure if this will help or not it's useually for running exe's as another user, it might be worth a look tho.

Oh it appears to of been updated to run vbs scripts as well.

Yes, there are a couple of quirks with it but it does work fairly well!


Carlsberg don't run I.T departments, but if they did they'd probably be more fun.
