Scheduled Task does not run

I have created a task with my admin account.
The task will only run when the admin user is logged in.
I even made the other user part of the admin

First I was trying to run a batch file, then I made it as simple as starting calculator.

Any help would be great.

Corey.

By default, for security reasons, if the account you're trying to run a
scheduled task under doesn't have a password, the task won't run.

You can defeat this, but it's a much better idea (and simpler) to add a
password to the account.

Re: Scheduled Task does not run

Scheduled tasks require that the account
you are logged in as has/needs a password.

Re: Scheduled Task does not run

Thanks guys, but the answer to this problem is not that easy.
All the users have passwords.
They have the rights to run calculator.
I acutally put the user in the admin group.

The only way a scheduled task runs is if the user who created the task is logged in.

The error code for the task is 0x1 if that helps.

Corey.
