Using Backup utility
I have a problem at the end of configuring the Backup utility. Here, as
briefly as possible, is what I go through: Sign on as administrator,Start,All Programs, Accessories, System Tools, Backup, BU or Restore Wizard, BU Files and Settings, Let me chose what to BU [I chose], Save to Lexar Media (E, Name: Xena, Advanced, Normal, No verification, Compression or Shadow, Replace existing BU, I do NOT check "Allow only the owner or admin. to access," Run BU later, Name: Carol, Start date inputted, set schedule, weekly, every 1 week on Thursday, at 10:00 am, Set account Info. [here's where the problem lies] Run as blahblahb\Administrator, Password Xena, Confirm Password Xena,OK And I get: "An error has occurred. The specific error is 0X80070005 Access Denied. You do not have permission to perform the requested action." So I return a couple of windows back, and leave the password blank (since I don't use a password to access my computer.) 10:00 comes and goes and the Scheduled Tasks list says the task was not performed because "there was no user account password entered." Problem: If I enter a password, it doesn't like it. If I don't enter a password, it won't run the task. Suggestions? |

Problem: If I enter a password, it doesn't like it. If I don't enter a password, it won't run the task. Suggestions? By default, the account used to run the scheduled task cannot have a blank password. While there are ways to get around this limitation, they involve decreasing the security of your system. If you want to schedule backups, you'll need to assign a password to your account. Scheduled Tasks cannot run with a blank password http://support.microsoft.com/default...b;en-us;310715 If your computer is currently configured to automatically logon your user account, adding a password will disable this feature. To automatically logon now, follow either of the following procedures. 1. Download and install TweakUI from Microsoft. TweakUI is available here. Microsoft PowerToys for Windows XP http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/d...powertoys.mspx Direct Download of TweakUI http://download.microsoft.com/downlo...ertoySetup.exe Once the program is installed, go to Start - All Programs - Powertoys for Windows XP - TweakUI. Click the + sign next to Logon in the left hand column. Click on Autologon. In the right hand pane, put a check mark in the box next to "Logon automatically at system startup". Enter the name of your user account in the User Name box. Hit the Set Password button and enter your password twice. Note: You should skip this step if your account has a blank password. Click OK to close TweakUI. Restart your computer to see if you get the desired results. 2. Go to Start - Run. Copy and paste the following into the Open box: control userpasswords2 Click OK. In the "Users for this computer" box, click on the account you want to have logged on automatically. Uncheck "Users must enter a user name and password to use this computer". Click OK. In the box that pops up, make sure the account you clicked on earlier is entered next to User Name. Enter your password twice. Note: You can leave the password box blank if the account does not have a password. Click OK. Reboot to see if you get the desired results.
