I have a feeling that you have to schedule the 'run whether user is logged
on or not' type tasks with the System account, rather than your own. You may
wish to play with that suggestion.

ASKER

The only account that I can find on Server 2008 is "Local System" - (that is what the majority of the services run as in services.msc on this server.

However when I try to use that user is get the following error

"An error has occured for task DORIS Lead Rebroke Tools. Error Message : The specified account name is not valid."

any more ideas?
