Ah well, the system process cannot access remote systems unless you specifically enable this via GPO of Local Security Poilicies (not a good idea to do this, hence it's off by default) ! Therefore, you need to do something else such as this (use the RUNAS command) 1. create the script to copy the files across and verify it works from an admin account 2. create a second script to start the first and schedule that. In the second script use the runas command to start the actual copy script in the context of another user This way you can use the scheduler you need/want but the script will run with the account you need also !

But I will try to find another scheduler tool that will allow me to add credentials and has an option to schedule tasks every 5 minutes.

There is a share on the target server, and I use the following to copy over the file: Copy c:\sourcedire\sourcefile <file:///\\targetserver\share> \\targetserver\share This works fine when I start the batch script manually, but when I try to schedule it, it doesn't work. I even added the full path name for the copy command, but that doesn't help either. I guess that is has to do with the fact that the system account runs the script when scheduled, and that it might cause problems..... Is there something obvious that I am overlooking, or do I need to do this differently? Regards, Dennis. Gallai'r e-bost yma gynnwys gwybodaeth gyfrinachol a/neu ddeunydd hawlfraint.
