Operating System is Windows 2000 Server Standard Create a Schedule Task in Control Panel. To run a batch file every day. The task will run, but next day it will not run. If I go into the schedule task and set the password. Then it runs for the day. but stops running the next day. Is their some type of hotfix from Microsoft to fix this issue? How can I create a schedule task to run manually via command prompt to supply it the password every time it runs the task?

To Confirm: You are using the username in the format: domain\username If there is any possibility of power management enabled you have checked “wake this computer to run this task” You have not selected “Only start the task if the computer has been idle for at least” Alternatively, have you tried using the Windows AT command. This method is completely independent of the Task Scheduler. http://support.microsoft.com/kb/313565 Rob Williams
