Hi,<br>
<br>
I'm trying to schedule a nightly copy of files from one server to another (NT4 SP3). The copy batch run nicely if you run it interactively, but as scheduled process nothing happens.<br>
<br>
How should I setup NT's Shcelu service, so that it can access files from another server. Service is running as system account. Do I have to make a special user account for service?<br>
<br>
TIA,<br>
Al
 
You will want to create an account that has the correct rights at both the share and NTFS level on both machines if you are using the admin$ or c$ etc shares the id must be administrative. Then change the schedule service to the new account you created instead of the service account then restart the service. Hope you are using something like robocopy from the reskit for this as it is far more robust than a regular copy.
