sure, you'll need to edit the script so that the mapped drives are created.<br />
<br />
if you're only running EXE files, then you'll need to create a batch file like this:<br />
<br />
net use x: \\server\share<br />
net use y: \\server2\share2<br />
start whatever.exe<br />
<br />
then schedule the batch file to run whenever you want<br />
<br />
(where x and y are whatever drives you want to use, and server/server2 share/share2 are whatever path the mapped drive should have)

HI,<br />
<br />
I have some VB .exe's running on a 2008 server. They copy files between the local server and a mapped network drive. The problem is the Map does not seem to exist when Im logged off and the scheduler runs the task.<br />
<br />
Is there a way I can make the MAP available to these scheduled tasks?<br />
Currently I have the maps created by the administrator account.<br />
<br />
Thanks!<br />
