Scheduled tasks run (says Task Scheduler) but program doesnt run

[Bob]

I have created a few scheduled tasks which will run a .BAT file. The BAT file
contains a line to run NTBACKUP.

If I run the .bat file from command line, NTBACKUP starts.

If I run the Scheduled Task from Task scheduler, it will shows it runs and
quits after a few seconds.

Properties of the task:
Run: "C:\Scripts\Weekly Backup.bat"
Start In: c:\Scripts

From the task scheduler's log:
"Weekly Full Backup.job" (ntbackup.exe)
Started 9/20/2008 7:29:45 PM
"Weekly Full Backup.job" (ntbackup.exe)
Finished 9/20/2008 7:29:49 PM
Result: The task completed with an exit code of (0).

Any idea?

Hello Bob,

What account are you using to run the it? Has the account the user rights
"log on as a batch job" "backup files and directories"?

Re: Scheduled tasks run (says Task Scheduler) but program doesnt r

Hello,

Are you scheduling the task with the same username and password that
you are testing running the .cmd file as?
The reason I ask is because the selection list file will be stored in
C:\Documents and Settings\{username} and Administrator might not have
permissions if the Selection list is stored in your personal profile?


Thanks,
