Script not running on Windows 11 Task Scheduler

[kaneelias]

Hi,

I am trying to run a suball script daily at 2pm on my Windows 11 laptop that hosts my Plex Server.

When I run this batch file, manually, it runs with no issues.

Code: Select all

filebot -script fn:suball W:/ Z:/ -non-strict --def maxAgeDays=21

and I can see it is calling my user profile eg.

Code: Select all

C:\users\psych>filebot -script fn:suball W:/ Z:/ -non-strict --def maxAgeDays=21

When I use the task scheduler to run the same batch file automatically, the exact same batch is run but I can see the path changes to

Code: Select all

C:\Windows\system32>filebot -script fn:suball W:/ Z:/ -non-strict --def maxAgeDays=21

and the script then shows

Code: Select all

File does not exist W:\
File does not exist Z:\
Done

Not sure why task scheduler is not using my local account to run the script. Any advice or experience would be appreciated.

Thanks

Seems to be a generic Windows problem unrelated to FileBot specifically. Why can't a Task Scheduler job access a mapped network drive? You might get lucky with a general Google search. Please report back if you find a solution for the next guy who stumbles up this thread.

Thanks for pointing me in the right direction. I had it working about two years ago but that thread was from 2013. In any case it got me on the right track and can confirm unchecking "run with the highest privileges" got it working.

Hopefully this helps someone else.

And thanks again for all your help
