Scheduling kix on WinNT

I have a need to schedule a large kix script on an NT4 Server. The script disconnects/maps network drives, launches and kills several win32 apps that uses network drives, and a few other sundry things. Every scheduler I've tried always presents problems with user contexts, almost always with either the network drives or with the win32 apps running correctly.Has anyone ever found a GOOD scheduler that will work? I know that IE4's Task Scheduler will probably do what I want since I can schedule things using specific contexts, but I'd really rather not have to install that beast if I can get away with it. Thanks!

Hello,Have you tried setting the Schedule service to use a specific account, ie (Domain\userid)? I've done this for many months with good success. Trevor

Yes, I've tried that, but I have problems when some of the win32 processes launch from the script. Application-specifc errors occur that can be rectified when launched by hand, so I know it's an issue with the scheduler.Let's face it, the AT service stinks. Has anyone tried anything better? Thanks!

WinAT *is* the AT service ... it's just a nasty gui frontend for it.

Try starting up the Schedule service with a specific Username, the script is than run as that user. Maybee that helps..
