Use schedluer to run a network application

[search66]

I'm trying to run an application that resides on a network share from scheduler.

I'm not using the Windows GUI, just the at commands so I can set up remote workstations.

I can easily get local apps to run, but for the life of me I can't get network apps to run.

Is there a syntax I'm missing?

It is a permissions isssue. The default 'System' permissions do not include network access.

You need to use the credentials of a user with both network priviliges and (in this case) local or Domain Administrator priviliges.

Thank d00d.

Actually, I played around and got it to work.

Basically, I had to put in two entries in the remote scheduler (via Dameware)

The first I do a net share on the directory (with the /u: toggle).

This allows me to share the drive using an admin account.

After that, I run the application. This is a great way to install software and packages using an admin account.
