Scheduler won't work

[Joe Ruskey]

I have a simple batch program that runs the xcopy command
and allows me to backup multiple machine to this my XP
Professional box because it has a large disk drive. The
batch file works great when I manually start it.
However, if I schedule it to run in the scheduler
program, it says it is running and never runs. Here is a
copy of the batch file.
@echo off

rem pause

xcopy "z:\my documents\*.*" "c:\backup\Deanna\my
documents\" /e/v/c/i/k/y

xcopy "z:\crep landowners\*.*" "c:\backup\deanna\crep
landowners\" /e/v/c/i/k/y

xcopy "z:\tree orders\*.*" "c:\backup\deanna\tree
orders\" /e/v/c/i/k/y

xcopy "y:\*.*" "c:\backup\russ\my
documents\" /e/v/c/i/k/y

xcopy "c:\documents and settings\default\my
documents\*.*" "c:\backup\default\my
documents\" /e/v/c/i/k/y



exit



ANy clues on why this is happening? It doesn't even kick
off a dos prompt or anything when it is scheduled to
run. Thanks.

Hi,

Is this task running on a passworded account and have you set it to "run as"
this account?

It is set on a passworded account and it is set to run as
this account.

Hi Joe,

Start/run eventvwr.msc, check the application logs for errors.
