I am getting an error code 4 upon a scheduled task trying to run. The task
is running an MS-DOS batch file with an XCOPY command in it to transfer some
files. The batch file runs fine when run manually, so I think it has
something to do with running after hours when not logged in. Does anyone
know exactly what this error code indicates? I don't want to pay $200 for
the MS Driver Dev Kit which supposedly explains these codes.
Thanks.
