Re: A scheduled task "Could not start"

Thank you Pegasus!

I did as you advised and we'll see tomorrow morning...
What I don't understand is why does the administrator looses his "batch
capabilities" after midnight :-)

Before this change of settings the task ran smoothly at 7:00, 9:00, ...
21:00 but stopped running next morning at 7:00. Why is that?

On a Windows 2000 Server I have a script that checks whether some
services are running. If a service is not running the task attempts to
start it and sends a message to my E-mail box. The script is started via
a scheduled task:

"Every 2 hours from 7:00 for 16 hours every day starting 4.10.2006"

Now the first day I created the sheduled task everything ran smoothly
but on every new day in the morning the status of the task is "Could not
start". The task is run under the System Administrator user with
appropriate password. Only if I fill in the password of the
administrator again in the field Run as: in the task properties, the
task is scheduled again again - but runs only for that day.

What could be the cause of it?

TIA,
Primoz

Allow the account used for the scheduled task to log on
as a batch job. Run gpedit.msc, then follow this path:
Local Computer Policy / Computer Configuration / Windows Settings /
Security Settings / Local Policy / User Rights / Logon as a batch job.
