Re: Scheduled tasks in Server 2003 do not run

Hi all,
I have previously tried to delete and recreate it with no improvement. I
have just added the user (a domain admin) to the local Backup Operators
group (which has logon as a batch job rights), he already had local admin
rights, but it seems that it wasn't enough! Looks good so far. I can run the
jobs now. Thanks a lot for all your help Olaf!
