We have a Windows Server 2003 that we're using as a terminal server (remote desktop connection). A couple of people connect locally and from home through the remote desktop connection. I do.
I am trying to set up Scheduled tasks. We've tried everything we can think of... using my user code/authorization, or having the Administrator use his user code/authorization. They may execute once, but if the remote desktop is closed, the scheduled tasks set to go off in the middle of the night, fail. We've been looking at the log. We get errors like:
"The system cannot find the file specified. Try using the Task page Browse button to locate the application."
"The system cannot find the path specified. Verify that the directory exists and try again."
I've set up numerous tests, the jobs are suppose to kick of Microsoft Access. The scheduled task seems to be set up correctly, because when I right click on the job, the first time it will "Run". Sometimes you come back to this job the next day, and "run" does nothing.
My MS Access database, if it runs, stores a date/time stamp in a table, so I have an absolute way of knowing whether the scheduled task runs.
There is this checkbox "Run only if logged in", this seems to be meaningless.
I'd love to get some ideas on how to make it work!
Thank you in advance.
