Re: cannot schedule jobs except as administrator

the problem was finally solved. I had to flatten both computers. After
installing XP Pro and Service Pack 2, I installed my programs and scheduled
the tasks at that time. Testing showed that the tasks would run under
administrator and any other user with restricted access on the local machine.
The machines were then joined to the domain and worked as expected (like the
38 other machines worked). MS Updates were applied and the tasks scheduled
for login continued to work as expected. the machines are now deployed and
working flawlessly.
The problem here is that the task scheduler should launch the programs and
let them work as designed not only BEFORE applying the 80 updates to XP Pro,
but also AFTER applying the MS updates. There is no excuse for the MS
updates to have affected the machines in such a negative manner. I now have
a workaround, but what a heck of a price to pay to figure it out. Thanks, MS.

I wasnt suggesting it was a GP problem, just putting forward a better way of
accomplishing your desired outcome.
Since you seem to have identified it as a Dell issue, I would suggest Dell
support is your next port of call.

brand new, out of the box Dell Optiplex 745's! connecting to a 2 year old
SBS 2003 Server, SP2. All the other Optiplex 320's work just fine. Never a
problem. It cannot be a group policy being pushed from the server or I
would have 20 problems at this one location instead of the two 745's.
Therefore, what did Dell and/or MS do to XP Pro SP2 on these machines that
created this problem? It has to be a policy issue/registry entry somewhere.
I cannot believe I am the only one to have this issue.

Are these systems, new and/or old connected to a Small Business Server 2003?

Just purchased 2 new Dell Optiplex desktops with XP Pro. After MS
updates, attempted to schedule a job to run at logon. Signed on as Admin,
the task created and when logging on as Admin, it works (launch
Notepad.exe). Logged on as Admin, I could not successfully create a task
for another profile (student) as the message Access Denied was issued.
Attempting to run the task successfully created to run as Admin when
logging on as Student, it shows as running, shows as a process, but will
not show as a task. Notepad never pops up. It must be some kind of local
policy issue with the new machines that I cannot find. I have 38 other
Dell Optiplex machines with XP Pro purchased last year that let me create
the task to run as Student and they work just fine.
Any ideas? Thanks
Jim
