Synchronized Tasks

[Andy Derbyshire]

Hi

I need to a synchronized task each night. When i set it up using the
administrator password it runs ok for the first night then stops working.
The log says that the account doesn't have the correct username/password,
but this doesn't change.

I'm running the task on a Windows 2003 server, which has IE7 installed. I'm
copying data from a mapped drive of another Windows 2000 server to the hard
drive of the Windows 2003 server.

Any help would be great!!

Scheduled Tasks|Advanced|View Log may provide some details. If the job
connects to another machine you may need to add the user/ group 'logon as
batch job' rights (server side). Control Panel|Admin Tools|Local Security
Policy\Local Policies\User Rights Assignments
"Log on as a batch job"

If the task completes but the job does not then there is a problem in the
job itself. 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 natively exist when no one is logged on.
