Hi,

I am trying to remotely create a scheduled task on a domain member (a Win2K8 R2 machine).  I can do that successfully if I run the schtasks.exe from the domain controller machine, but I have not been able to run the schtasks.exe and create the task (on the domain member) from a non-domain machine successfully.

If I include the /RU-/RP and the /U-/P pairs of usernames/passwords, I get:

ERROR: No mapping between account names and security IDs was done.

If I include only the /RU-RP username/password, I get: 

ERROR: Access is denied.

If I include only the /U-/P username/password, I can create the task on the domain member, but when it runs, I get an error code -2147023651 (800704DD), which I think is:

"The operation being requested was not performed because the user has not 
logged on to the network. The specified service does not exist. "

Also, note that the task that I'm trying to run on the domain member must be run under the domain admin <domain>\administrator account, otherwise it seems to fail.

Is this a limitation if schtasks that it can't be run remotely unless both the target and the machine where the schtasks.exe is run are in the same domain?

Thanks,

Jim
