NT Authority\System and Task Scheduler

[Guest]

I have a series of Tasks I want to schedule and run using the local PC's NT
Authority\System account. The tasks also require access to a share. How do
I provide access to a share on a Windows 2000 Server for my local PC NT
Authority\System accounts?

Any advice is appreciated.

Use a user account that can be authenticated on both computers such as the
same user/password if local accounts or a domain account for a domain. Use
an account with least privilege that can do the job as in don't use an
account that is the local administrators group if a regular user account
will do. --- Steve

Thanks for the reply. I like using the NT Authority\System account for local
task scheduling since it doesn't require the storage of a password. But if
that account can only access the local PC, then, as you advise, i will have
to create a limited privilege account to do any tasks that require access to
another computer. Thanks again.
