attiahia attiahia Hey THIS is FUN Registered: 2000-03-27 Posts: 268	As my understanding to the Scheduletask function, the task will be scheduled with the current existing login id & password if I did not provide the function with them. This is fine but according to our company rules user will not be allowed to login to the domain until he change his password every 45 days. So when the user does and change his password the scheduled task will still try to be executed with the “old” password which will lead to locked out the account because of the conflict between the 2 passwords. I know that I can use the group policy to schedule the task under admin account over all workstations but I do not want to go with this option before I try using system account. Any additional help will be highly appreciated. Thank you.

attiahia attiahia Hey THIS is FUN Registered: 2000-03-27 Posts: 268	Sorry lonker Maybe I was not success in explaining the case. I will try again. Nobody changed the schedule setting and let’s say the password was 123 during scheduling the task. After 45 days user hade to change the password to 456. The scheduled task will still try to be executed (as it used to do) with the old password 123. According to the domain rules, if the password entered 3 times wrong, account will be locked out. Thank you.

Lonkero Lonkero KiX Master Guru Registered: 2001-06-05 Posts: 22346 Loc: OK	but I understood that you don't do a scheduler that will schelude something else that will be executed, right? you schelude now. as you schelude it now, it will be scheluded and executed as many times as you want as long as the power of the wksta is turned on under system account. or are we still discussing different thing? _________________________ ! download KiXnet

Sealeopard Sealeopard KiX Master Registered: 2001-04-25 Posts: 11165 Loc: Boston, MA, USA	The SYSTEM account has severe shortcomings, e.g. no network access. Secondly, why even schedule a task under the current user's account? You could always trigger the scheduled job through the login script, thus taking care of changing passwords automatically. Or alternatively, use a dedicated scheduling account. _________________________ There are two types of vessels, submarines and targets.
