Re: How to schedule URL?

I see the problem and have it almost working. My guest account was good for
the URL but not to run IE. I put in the Adminstrator account and pass.
That gave access to IE and runs it with theURL. However, now the URL
prompts to run the webpage (which it should) but there is no automation for
this second prompt. The prompt is filled in and save pass checked but
something still needs to click "ok". Did I do something wrong or is there a
way around this?

Thanks for the help,
Brett

Try using a limited/admin account with non-blank password.

I can execute this through the command line with the appended parameter.  It
does do a Windows prompt to run the URL (which is local 127.0.0.1).  At the
command line, the browser opens and goes to the page then the prompt
appears.  I already have my user name/pass entered and the save button is
checked.  I just click ok and am logged in.
Now, on the Windows prompt, my user name is only "guest".  In the schedule
task pane, it is computername\guest.  I have entered this into the Windows
prompt with no problems.  URL executes fine.  Still, the task doesn't run.
How do I debug this?
Thanks,
Brett
