Schedule Task - fails when passwords changes.

[Dave F.]

Hi
SP2


I've a windows scheduled task that required a password to run.
Our login password has to be changed every month & the task fails run.

Is there a way around this?

Hope you can help

Cheers

Yes - do what the professionals do. They use a dedicated account
for all scheduled tasks, with a highly complex password that they
only change rarely.
