Angus, generally the local system account cannot access files/shares etc. on a remote system unless you have enabled this in the GPO of the servers involved. Eitter get the RUNAS util posted to the thin sometime (& schedule a script to RUNAS the desired script with admin rights) ago OR enable trusted system account behaviour in the GPO HTH Mark Angus Macdonald <Angus.Macdonald@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote: I want to add a simple scheduled task to one of my Win2K boxes. All it does is run a batch file that makes a network connection, copies some files and deletes the connection. The batch file has worked for years on NT4. However, when I create the task under 2K I get the following error message "General Page Initialization failed: The device is not currently connected but it is a remembered connection" All I can find in Technet is that the Task Scheduler service must be run as the Local System account, which it is already. If I view the task properties, the "Run As" box is grayed out. Any suggestions? Regards Angus This weeks sponsor - RTOSoft TScale Complaints about applications response time - DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT!
