Scheduled Tasks

Hi, I have a few scheduled tasks that I am going to set up on my sbs box.
They will be running at different hours of the day throughout the week. How
do scheduled tasks run interactively? Will they only run while logged in to
the server or will the run while logged off as well?

1.You can schedule tasks with task scheduler

2.you want them to run interactively? meaning if a and b then c?
You should either write a batch program or some other script to do this.

3. Depending on the program most programs can be scheduled to run on a
server without the user logged in, and that you set up in the Scheduler.

Post back what exactly you are trying to accomplish?
Sounds like you will need to write a script for this.

Hello,

Thank you for posting here.

According to your description, I understand that:

You have a concern about the scheduled task in the SBS 2003 server.

If I have misunderstood the problem, please don't hesitate to let me know.

Suggestions:
===============
Yes, the scheduled task will be run under the security context of the user
that you specify the name and password on matter whether any user logs onto
the computer or not. More specific to the question, could you please
explain more detail requirement you want to achieve by the schedule tasks?
It will help us to fully understand your scenarios and provide useful
suggestions.
