Hi,
I am having a problem creating an interactive task that runs as either the system account or a specified domain account.
The task will run, but it will not show interactively for the currently logged on user.
On Windows XP, I can use a command such as this:
at 23:30 /interactive /every:M,T,W,Th,F,Sa,Su c:\batch\overnight.cmd
This will install our interactive nightly shutdown task that allows the user to pause, cancel or continue a shutdown. I do not use schtask as it won't run the command interactively.
If I run this on Windows 7 I get:
Warning: Due to security enhancements, this task will run at the time expected but not interactively.
So, I try to use schtask instead like this:
schtasks /create /TN "Nightly Shutdown Task" /tr "C:\Batch\Overnight.cmd" /sc daily /st 23:30:00 /RU CTSYNZ\PCTasks /RP sksaTCP /s %COMPUTERNAME%
This creates the task, but it still will not run interactively unless I am actually logged on as the user specified by /RU.
I have tried the local system account with no luck and all manner of combinations but I just can not get a task to run on Windows 7 interactively as another user.
Can anyone suggest how to do this? Is it even possible or is this another feature we have lost?
Thanks,
Rob
