Task scheduler batch file

[maheshkava]

all,
I have to create a batch file to be distributed to our end user,on the execution of which a task schedule would be created on the user machine which would run a batch file.we cannot ask the end user to manually create a task schedule themself.
I tried using the 'AT' command from the command prompt:
AT 11:20 c:\downloaddata.bat
which create a schedule task but i get the foll error when the task runs:
The attempt to log on to the AT security account failed; therefore, the AT job did not run.
The specific error is:
0x8007052e: Logon failure: unknown user name or bad password.
FYI-The username with which i have logged in is a member of the local administrative group
any help will be appreciated
Thankx
mahesh

I'm not 100% sure, but since a Scheduled Task does generally require some method of authentication in W2K, you might want to try the /interactive switch, that way the task will run using the credentials of the person currently trying to run it.

I hope this helps.
