I have a batch file that I'd like to run with the Task Scheduler. Running the batch file manually works fine. If the batch file resides on the C:\ drive, task scheduler runs it fine, but if the batch file is on a network drive, it doesn't run. The task scheduler reports that the job finished successfully, but the batch file is not getting run.
I've tried using both the drive mappings and UNC paths. I've also tried changing the scheduler action to cmd /C Path/To/BatchFile just to see if that would help.

Is it possibly just a simple problem with the scheduler? Sounds like you're well past that, but hey, simple answers can be admissible. – James T Snell – 2011-06-21T21:57:20.463
Are you running the scheduled task as your regular user or as a different user? If the latter, does that user have access to the share where the BAT file resides? Are you typically logged out when the task is supposed to run? Also, is there any chance that you could post some or all of the contents of the batch file in case the problem lies there? – boot13 – 2011-06-21T22:13:51.883
Have you looked in the event log to see if a reason why is given? – PhonicUK – 2012-09-06T11:12:10.620
