Interesting. &nbsp;I commented out the DEL and added a DIR *.txt &gt;&gt;&nbsp;file.txt and it appears that it is not remembering the setting for directory letter and not changing directory because it is executing the DIR in the directory of the BAT file. &nbsp;I still don't have a great answer for how to do this.

Another thing is, you may have to run the job as an administrator. There is a setting in the Scheduled Jobs area to input this.

Hello all,<br />
<br />
I have a strange one. &nbsp;I have a Windows 2003 Server Standard Edition that has a Bat job that sets the drive letter, changes a directory and then DEL *.txt. &nbsp;When I double click on the BAT job, it executes just fine. &nbsp;No issues and it deletes everything in the directory. &nbsp;When I schedule the BAT job, it acts like it runs. &nbsp;Does not give me any error, but it does not delete the files.<br />
<br />
Any idea why?<br />
<br />
Thanks

Scheduled BAT Job on Windows Server Running But Not Executing Commands

Windows Server 2003 was based on Windows XP and was released in four editions: Web, Standard, Enterprise and Datacenter. It also had derivative versions for clusters, storage and Microsoft’s Small Business Server. Important upgrades included integrating Internet Information Services (IIS), improvements to Active Directory (AD) and Group Policy (GP), and the migration to Automated System Recovery (ASR).
