1) I tried specifying the full path to schtasks.exe but that didn't make a difference.
2) Yes, logging into the physical box with the same account (RDP or since it's my dev server, I can walk over to it.. .:)) 3) If I run either of these from the command prompt on the server schtasks /create /tn createMovie47 /tr d:\wwwroot\tours\47\youTube\createMovie.bat /sc once /st 18:45 /sd 09/30/2008 /p *accountPassword* or schtasks /create /tn createMovie47 /tr d:\wwwroot\tours\47\youTube\createMovie.bat /sc once /st 18:45 /sd 09/30/2008 /rp *accountPassword* It starts asking me for username then, and when I provide /u *username* or /ru *username* it then asks me for the computer name and when I supply the /s *computerName* it tells me the password is wrong. Very very odd, and frustrating...
