Greetings,
I am trying to set up a scheduled task on a NT 4.0 server (termserver),
but all it ever does is 'Could not Start'. The scheduled task is a batch
file that copies files. This batch file runs fine if double clicked or run
from a command line. I also tried to schedule a VDF program, but it would
not start either. I tried a small batch file with only the DIR comand, but
it would not start. So it seems that the Task Scheduler won't start any
jobs. I have the same setup on other servers that work fine, but they are
Windows 2000. Anyone have experience with this? Any advice appreciated.
