Answer» Good weekend EVERYBODY!
How can I permanently map network drives to NOT be dependant on a LOGGED in account?
Details: I have a script that will automaticaly backup content from network drives. It seems that if I schedule this batch file to run using the Windows 2003 Standard Server Edition's task scheduler it will run fine, as long as I'm logged in.
Once I log out, the script will not fully run because the mapped drives are disconnected. How can I permanently map network drives?
I have also seen this on XP Pro, where even if the option to remap on login is selected, XP will not do so and I manualy have to EXPLORE and open the corresponding mapped drive icon. Try using UNC paths instead of mapped paths. The UNC path should always be available.
UNC paths worked. ------------------------- Update
90% of the script worked but an executable I found that will eject the DVD drive will still NOT run while logged off. does anyone have any ideas.
TESTED the script directly (while logged in)-- sucsesfull Tested Scheduler (while logged in)-- sucsesfull Tested script /w scheduler (while LOGGED OFF)-- EXE failed to run.
