Re: Scheduled tasks on a 2008 R2 box
I think it's great too. Lots of built in examples of what is going on with your system and what times it happens. We have one system that does it's most intensive work at night, so we were able to move the 'ScheduledDefrag' from 1am to 1pm when the system is sleeping.

If the jobs only need local access, run them as the SYSTEM account (no password), which will avoid all the logon-logoff issues, and also avoid any password changing complexities as well. -ASB --- http://Home.ASBzone.com/ASB/ http://www.linkedin.com/in/AndrewBaker --- On Fri, Aug 7, 2009 at 2:21 PM, Christopher c.bo...@gmail.com wrote: OK - here's the scenario.

The /interactive switch means you can run a scheduled task without being logged on to the system. -Original Message- From: Stephen Chiang [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Friday, August 17, 2001 2:23 PM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: RE: Scheduled Tasks It doesn't work. Meaning, if I run it, I get the status code 0x1 and the files that I am renaming and copying onto a mapped networked drive are not moved. If, however, I am logged in then the files are copied off fine. What's the /interactive switch? Thanks.

What is it this batch file is trying to do? The scheduled job will run the job on the server in the context of the user specified. If you use the /interactive switch it will be just like the specified user was sitting at the console running the command. It won't open a terminal server session and do something in that session.
