Running scheduled tasks on XP pro with no one logged into the system.

**ps3cheats** · 12-Mar-2007, 01:27 AM

Question: I have four windows XP pro systems that have three accounts defined on each of them, one for each person using/sharing that system. I have scheduled tasks defined on each for various managements tasks including backups. The problem is that none of the tasks run unless one of the users is logged into the system. If the platform is up but without anyone logged in the backups and other tasks do not run.

Is there any way to get scheduled tasks to run without an account logged into the system?

So rather than using
N:\Conundrum\File.blah
change it so it uses:
\\192.168.10.50\NASshare\Conundrum\File.blah

This should be available even if nobody is logged in.
