Scheduler Running When Not Logged In Questions

[srm]

Thanks. I must of missed the UNC comment earlier. That I apologize
for.

YOU SAID EARLIER - Remember that if it involves network resources to
make sure the user account has permissions to the resources and also
use UNC paths as mapped drives won't exist when no one is logged on.

Dave and I recently discussed this issue in detail in a different
thread and we agreed that mapped drives do exist when no
one is logged on, provided that
a) They are specifically mapped by the scheduled task, and
b) The drive letter is not already in use, and
c) The account used by the scheduled task has appropriate
access rights to that share.
It is because of these three conditions that UNC paths are
usually preferred in scheduled tasks.
