I am running Windows 7 and I have a batch file to copy files from 1 computer to another.  It runs fine alone, but when I set it up to run in Task Scheduler it shows it completes successfully but nothing happens.  No files are copied and the command box doesn't appear.  Any ideas??

Running a batch file in Task Scheduler

Answer
Hello ITGIRL17,

Thank you for posting to the Microsoft Answers Forum.

Setup your task under your administrator account.
Then, go the folder with the batch file  and ADD the administrator permissions to full control for the folder and each of the batch files.
If the batch files has to write some data, then the target for the task ALSO should have explicit full permissions.
Now try to run the task from the Task Scheduler.

Also review the information from the following link and specifically look at Brian Vandemark summary of steps on September 2nd.

Hopefully this information will help to resolve your batch file not running issue.
