Mapped Share / Scheduled Task
Posted by John Deakins on April 3rd, 2008


We have a scheduled task created under User1 to run a script. The script
requires a mapping to a share. The share is mapped using User2's
credentials. The task runs fine as long as User1 is logged on and the share
is mapped properly. Once User1 logs off, the mapped share is disconnected.

Is there a way to have the share mapped even while the user is logged
off...so that the task can run when the user is not logged on?
