I have a .cmd file that works great from the command prompt, but when I try to run it using the AT schedular in NT 4.0 It gives me an error message:

REPORT caused a General Protection
Fault in module )C25.DLL at 0007:1443

I have notbeen able to resolve this issue. I have tried checking properties of the application that I am using with the script. I have even tryed running it from the system command prompt:

at /interactive cmd.exe /k

this leaves the system command promp windo open so I can try to run the file. Like I said it works just fine while running it manually from the command prompt.

any help would be appriciated.

I'm not sure but you could try running Scheduler Service on behalf of any "real" Domain or Local account, not LOCAL SYSTEM (default).

Goto Control Panel -- Services and configure Scheduler service to run as any other account than local System. The, restart the service and try to schedule your .cmd
