Scheduled task "run as" problem

by vbriggs Jul 27, 2007 3:40AM PDT

I have a batch file that runs on clients to create a scheduled task to defrag, so it is set to create with credentials for running under the admin account. this used to work fine, and recently started to create tasks for the users under their account, and will not take the Run As information in the command line. Here is the syntax I am using:

SCHTASKS /CREATE /SC WEEKLY /D SUN /TN Admin-defrag /TR \\server\shared\Defrag\admin-defrag.bat /ST 01:00:00 /SD 01/01/2007 /RU domain\administrator /RP password
