On a Windows 2000 Server upon startup you get to the ctrl alt dlt screen to logon, if the screen is left at this point is the scheduler enabled or can it be? Will jobs run, assuming all run as info was supplied to each task?
 
Sorry, one more question that kind of goes with this is the ability to access a network share as a mapped directory with a job that would launch thru the scheduler in the situation listed above. Ex. the job launches and requires access to k:\tech\tips\ ...
 
Hi

Yes. So long as the task scheduler service is running then you don't have to ne logged on. You can use it to call a batch file to map a drive to a remote machine, copy files etc. so long as the user specified in the run as info has the required permissions. Use something like
NET USE F: \\TESTSERVER\SHARED /PERSISTENT:NO
to map a drive.
 
Thanks so much for the info, I will try it as soon as we move the app to the new server... Will update within a week. Thanks again
