Question

We have a series of Scheduled Tasks that run batch files that run MS Access macros on a Windows Server 2003 machine at work.

The batch files run with a command like so:

%PATH_TO_MS_ACCESS% C:\UCPData\SomeTaskDb.mdb /wrkgrp "C:\UCPData\Security.mdw" /x Macro1

The Task Scheduler Status reads The scheduled task did not run because an incorrect password or user name was entered.

When I right click the task in Scheduled Tasks and Run the task nothing happens.

But when I run the batch file from the run dialog it runs just fine. So it isn't a password issue.

The task is run as administrator. Is there some other reason the task won't run?

Was it helpful?

Solution

Figured it out. The issue was that the administrator password changed on the network but not in each of the individual Scheduled Tasks.
