Windows Task Scheduler Issue

[Guest]

I am using a program called HyperAccess to dial a bulletin board service to
download a Medicaid file. I want to use Windows Task Scheduler to schedule
the job to run every morning at 3am. If I manually start the job, it dials
the number fine and downloads the file fine. If I use Windows Task Scheduler
to have it run, it does not run at all at the scheduled time. However, if I
schedule the job to run (with Windows Task Scheduler) in 5 minutes, it will
run. Any ideas why it won't run at 3am Monday through Friday, but it will run
if it is scheduled to run in 5 minutes? Thanks!

If you schedule a job to start at 3:00 AM and the current time is after 3:00
AM you must remember to set the start date to tomorrow (instead of today) or
it will never start. (Ask me how I know this?)

OK....How do you know this?

Louis,

Here is the Windows Scheduler job log for last night. This doesn't sound
like changing the date will fix it. Any other ideas?

"MEDClientElig.job" (MEDClientElig.HAW) 1/5/2005 3:00:00 AM ** ERROR **

The attempt to log on to the account associated with the task
failed, therefore, the task did not run.

The specific error is:

0x80070569: Logon failure: the user has not been granted the
requested logon type at this computer.

Verify that the task's Run-as name and password are valid and
try again.

I would try recreating the task if you haven't done so already. Maybe set it
to run as Administrator and see what happens. Other than that I don't know
what to suggest.

I have already re-created the job...thanks for your ideas though. I changed
the start date...we'll see what happens tomorrow.
