Hi Nat,

Nope, we have been using scheduler entries right along and no hiccups.

Guys

To switch the discussion, did either of you encounter problems with the windows scheduler starting around Sept. 1. I have a job that runs daily and started having problems with the job failing. I eventually had to delete the scheduled job and then build a new entry. I do not recall the error code but I did find some internet references to it from several years ago when MS pushed out a security update that fouled up scheduled jobs.

Hi Ya,

Either way. (It's totally up to you and your folks there.)

Thanks Mark,

I have two PCs. One is dedicated for the routine run. Another is for my daily work. Of course I only have one login account. Does this mean I have to ask the admin to set my account to NOT expire? That means my regular PC will not ask me to change the password?

Sounds like I should ask admin to create one special account for the scheduler box?

Hi Ya,

Yes, whoever has administrative capabilities can set the special username's password to NOT expire. (if they are so inclined to let you talk them into it)

Hope this is helpful.

Hi there,

I have a routine SAS run via windows xp scheduler. The way it was set up is to have username and password specified, so that even when the PC is logged off, it still can run. But the problem is that every 3 months, system force us to change the password. Most time after I change the password, I forget to change the password in the scheduler, which lead to failed SAS run. I wonder if there is way to not specifying the username and password, and the scheduler still run even when the PC is logged off.

Thanks
