does anyone know of any way at all to allow a domain user to type
\\servername and see the scheduled tasks? I have spent numerous hours trying
to figure this out! It is driving me nuts. :( Its all windows 2000 - both
the client and server.

What controls the permissions for a user to view scheduled tasks on a remote
machine? I know that administrators can, but what controls it?

I have a user that needs to be able to start/restart a FlexLM service on a
server. I created a task that runs as administrator on the server to do this
using the SC.EXE utility. I gave permission on the task to the domain user.
But the domain user still cannot see the "scheduled tasks" folder when he
types in the unc path to the server (\\server). Even using more precise
methods: at.exe, jt.exe do not work either.

The command:

jt.exe /sm \\server /sac mytask.job /rj

will run mytask.job on the remote server...but only if you are an admin.
Even though I gave permissions on "mytask.job" to the user, he STILL can't
run it remotely.

I even used CACLS.EXE to add permissions on the folder C:\winnt\tasks on the
server to modify for the domain user...nope. \\server still wont bring up
the scheduled tasks.

C'mon all you experts....surely there is a way to allow a non-admin user
just to view tasks on a remote machine??? Help!
