Trouble with network drives when user not logged in.

Hello,

I am having issues with scheduled tasks not being able to find the
proper network drives. I have an ntbackup and some perl scrips
scheduled to run on my desktop and more often than not they can not
find the required network drive if I am logged off the machine. The
tasks are associated with user accounts that have the proper access to
the network drives. If I am logged on to the machine when the task is
scheduled to run everything happens fine.

The logs I am seeing in ntbackup just say:

Backup Status
The operation was not performed because the specified media cannot
be found.

----------------------


The logs from scheduled tasks are saying:

"Daily Inc.job" (NTBACKUP.EXE)
Started 5/14/2007 3:00:10 AM
"Daily Inc.job" (NTBACKUP.EXE)
Finished 5/14/2007 3:00:32 AM
Result: The task completed with an exit code of (1f).
"perl.job" (perl.exe)
Started 5/14/2007 6:19:02 AM
"perl.job" (perl.exe)
Finished 5/14/2007 6:19:04 AM
Result: The task completed with an exit code of (2).

Exit code of 2 for the perl script is file not found. What else can I
do to find out why these drives are not connecting?

Are you mapping the drives as part of the scripts? Post the script please.

Hi Eric,

Your scheduled task needs credentials to map a network drive. It needs to do
this in the script under those creds. Then, after backup is done, disconnect
the network drive (good housekeeping). Is that happening?

I am not mapping the drive as part of the script, windows already has
it mapped under the same profile I am using.

So I need to map the network drive in the script itself? If that is
the case why does it sometimes work when I am logged off? The
scheduled task is associated with a user that has drives mapped on the
machine.

Hi,

Did you find any solution for this ?
I'm having the same issue, I even copied the perl script on the local
drive but no success.
