Windows Scheduler with local system account

scheduled-task

I'm trying to schedule a windows scheduler job on Windows 2008 R2 using a Local System Account of another box.

Could anyone please tell me whether this is possible?

Scenario:

  1. I've Server A where windows scheduler will be scheduled.
  2. This scheduler needs to create/delete/get files located at SERVER
    B. This SERVER B is located on different domain.
  3. I'm trying to schedule the Windows Scheulder on SERVER A with Local Account on
    SERVER B.

Best Answer

To create a job that will have access to both server a and server b, you must have a set of credentials that exist on both a and b. This can be a duplicate local account (same name/password on both machines), or a domain account. If across two domains, there must be a trust relationship in place between the two domains.
