script won't run on schedule - help
I give up. I have a batch file that should run every 2 hours, copying files from my computer to a Windows 2003 server. It worked flawlessly under XP Pro but now that I've moved to Windows 7 Professional the batch file will execute but doesn't actually do anything. When I run the batch file manually, it works. This is the script: s: if %errorlevel% neq 0 goto fail c: cd "\pic staging" move *.* "s:\re photos" goto end :fail beep beep beep echo "Error connecting to server" There is an old kb article indicating that " marks will prevent a scheduled batch file from running but it applied to Vista, not 7. Right on schedule I get the following entries in the history of task scheduler: Task Scheduler successfully finished "{fbbf51ad-a439-4fac-bc95-f89211493833}" instance of the "\Upload pics" task for user Log Name: Microsoft-Windows-TaskScheduler/Operational Source: Microsoft-Windows-TaskScheduler Date: 11/22/2010 10:06:43 AM Event ID: 102 Task Category: Task completed Level: Information Keywords: (1) User: userpc\user Computer: userpc Description: Task Scheduler successfully finished "{fbbf51ad-a439-4fac-bc95-f89211493833}" instance of the "\Upload pics" task for user "userpc\user".

It could be that the task is not running with the necessary privileges. See http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc722152.aspx for further information. See http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc721846.aspx for general troubleshooting information. Hope this helps.

I've tried running it as myself and as admin. It simply does not work.
