Hello.
I have written a backup script that will take data off the workstations and write it to our file/print server. It basically takes the my documents folder, desktop, and some other folders that the employees need. In the script I put a line that tells the script to log the date, time, and machine name of the computer, that way I can tell who is doing their backups. Well needless to say only a hand full of people are double clicking the batch file before they leave. So it’s not really getting done. I have a few test computers that I have done a scheduled task to run the batc file but it does not seem to be running. I can click the task and run it, but when I check the log file it hasn’t written the date, time and machine name. Also, it doesn’t appear in the task manager when running. I have the task set to run with my username and password because the users do not have priveledges to run scheduled tasks (apparently). So it’s set up to start in the users home directory but using my password. Does that mean the task is running as me? Eventhough the Start In field designates that particular user?
Anyone know of a better way to schedule these backups so that I dont have to go in every 30 days and change the password and so that the users don’t actually have to click anything?
Thanks for your help, I have been working at this for about a week and I would really like to get this working. Thanks agian.
