    Hi there,

    We are running Windows Server 2003.

    I have a batch file that backs up our servers using ntbackup, and it
    runs fine.

    I have tried adding it as a scheduled task using the AT scheduler.

    At the beginning of my batch file is a "net use" command to map a
    network drive. This executes fine when I run the batch file myself as
    administrator, but as a scheduled task it prompts for a password.

    I assumed this was occuring due to a permission issue with the Local
    System account, which is the account that the Task Scheduler runs under
    by default. So, under the Task Scheduler's Log On properties I changed
    it to use an administrator a/c. When I try to restart the service I get
    the error message:

    "Error 1079: The account specified for this service is different from
    the account specified for other services running in the same process".

    Anyone have any idea what the problem is, and what I can do it rememdy
    it?

    Any information is very much appreciated :)

    Nev
