access denied when using the "at" command

[bigdog92]

H all,

I am trying to schedule a backup using the at command. My problem is that i can launch the batch file correctly and everything works fine, but if i try to use the at command i receive an access denied. I dont understand how this can be since its the same batch file that works if i launch if manually. Can anyone help?

at 04:00 "C:\TEST.BAT"

that is just a sample i didnt even put in the days to do this yet i just wanted to get it working to start.

Glad you got it working too. I knew it was some kind of permissions issue.

jpoandl how do i get the at command permisions?

 

[bigdog92]

hmm is it in the services where you set it to automatic i believe you can specify an account there correct?

(Win2K instructions)

Go into services

- From Run command type: Services.msc

This will open the services.

- Now double click on Task Scheduler
- Click the LOGON Tab
- Select "This account" instead of logon interactively..and select the proper username and password

NT 4.0 instructions are roughly the same.
