vbs runs by double clicking, freezes when run from task scheduler

[raphael75]

I have a .vbs script that copies files from multiple remote computers. Each server has a shared folder that I map as a network drive (W. When I run it by double-clicking, it runs fine, but if I run it from Task Scheduler (Win Server 2003) it hangs on this line:

NetworkObject.MapNetworkDrive "W:", "\\xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx\sharename", false, <username>, <password>

I've tried everything but I can't figure out why it won't run in task scheduler. Please help!

In the Scheduled Task window, in the "Start in:" text box, did you specify "cscript /nologo" ??

Dim objNetwork
Set objNetwork = WScript.CreateObject("WScript.Network")
strLocalDrive = "K:"
strRemoteShare = "\\myServer\Map\Vol1"
objNetwork.MapNetworkDrive strLocalDrive, strRemoteShare, False

I just made the above script, and ran it on one of my WinXP machines, worked fine. Removed the Mapping, then added it to "Scheduled Tasks" and used "cscript /nologo" in the "Start in:" text box and it also worked.

It turned out to be an issue with the server not being rebooted in a long time. After restarting it worked. Thanks for your reply.
