Scheduled Task Problems

[Guest]

Hi,

I have an XP Pro. machine that is an AD 2003 member. It is a lab machine
that facilitates local and Kerberos-based logins. I would like to create a
scheduled task that shuts down the PC every night. Each attempt results in
an access denied message. I have tried this with an administrative account
and the local administrator account. The domain account has delegated
control over the OU that the PC is located, and still no luck. I do not have
administrative access to the domain.

The task scheduler is running and my account has the right to create tasks.
Have I missed anything?

Thanks in advance (TIA)

Do you get access denied while creating the task or when the task runs ?

You can also use the cmdline to create the tasks. I found this working on my
XP machine to shutdown
the computer at 8:20 PM.

schtasks.exe /create /sc once /st 20:20:00 /tn shutdown /tr
"shutdown.exe -s" /ru system
