Hi I am trying to run a scheduled task from my Admin profile for a different user account that is in my Administrators group. The scheduled task runs when the specific user is logged on but does not work when the administrator is logged on. Why is this? I have set all permissions and access rights of the user account to match that of the administrator. Thanks YY

Give the user account read and execute permissions to the file C:\WINDOWS\system32\cmd.exe

I'm also having problems with a scheduled task in Win 2003 server. I tried your solution and it worked when the Administrator account was logged into the server. But it didn't work if no one was logged in. I even applied the hotfix from MS's website: http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;821287. My task is set to run under a different Admin-equivalent account and here is the .BAT file that the task runs: shutdown /r /f. Do you have any other suggestions to make the scheduled task work whether someone is logged into the server or not? Thank you in advance for the help.

Hello, I have a similar problem. I created a user with limited rights, gave it rights to execute a script that deletes old backupfiles, gave it read/execute rights to cmd.exe. When I schedule it to the next minute, it runs fine. When I schedule it to run at night (when I am not logged in), I get "couldn't start" with an error message: "Logon failure: the user has not been granted the requested logon type at this computer. Verify that the task's Run-as name and password are valid and try again." Then if I schedule it again for the next minute, I get the same problem. Then if I rewrite the password and schedule it for the next minute, it runs fine. Any clue? Regards, Jacques

We have recently upgraded our server to windows 2003. I have setup few tasks in schedule but they are not executed. I am not sure. Is there any clue. In previouse server ( windows 2000 ), they were working fine even if no body was logged in.

Hi All, surprising to know tat I'm not the only one encountering the server 2003 Scheduled task failure. Does anybody already found a solution to this? Problem: Scheduled task failed to run when remote user is logged off, but running OK if user is logged on. Everything was running OK in Win Server 2K until we migrated to Win Server 2003. Here’s what we have done so far. -Verified the user id and password in the “Run As” option. -Another workaround that we are looking at is to leave the user id logged on in the box console and not through remote connection. However we want a permanent fix.
