successfully.

Thanks.

Form a command prompt run the command below, make sure you replace
USERNAME with the name of the user that is running the scheduled task

runas /user:USERNAME cmd

This will open up a new command prompt with the same authority as the user
in the scheduled task. Try running the ntbackup from this new command
prompt.

Thank you for your response, Enkidu. I ran the script from the command
line and the backup went through without any problems. Do you have any
other suggestions?

Thanks.

Hi Diane,

Just checking, did you try running the script from the command line to
see if it has errors?

Cheers,

Cliff

Hello Diane,

Please try to stop and restart the services as following:
1. Open services console. 2. Stop the Task Scheduler and then restart
it.
If the problem still persists, would you please help me collect the
following information:
1. Collcet the Scheduled task log as following:
1) Open the scheduled task console. 2) Click Advanced menu and then
select View Log. 3) Please post the log to newsgroup.
2. Please post the detailed error message of Event Log to newsgroup
(if some exists). 3. Create a new schedule and check if the problem
still persists.


Thank you very much for your prompt response, MyWeb

I opened Scheduled Tasks, the error under Status was 0x2. If I
right-click and select Run now, the window pops up and flashes
quickly
and then close. I can't see what the screen says.

Please let me know if you need additional information or have any
questions.


If you open Scheduled Tasks, you can see yours and maybe an error or
the status of the task. What happens if your rightclick and take run
now?

We are running Windows 2003 server. This server is a Domain
Controller.
We scheduled the backup jobs using NTBackup. However, the
scheduled
backup
jobs did not run. Is there a way to find out why the backup did
not
run?
I checked the Event Viewer and did not see anything regarding to
backup.
