RE: "security subsysem" on NT with the AT program

Instead of letting at jobs run with SYSTEM account privileges, configure it to run using Administrative privileges. This is so long as you don't have any other at jobs that you'd prefer not run with Administrative privileges. To make the change: - Go to Control Panel -> Services - Highlight the Scheduler service. - Click on Properties. - There is a field in the bottom half of the window that pops up which allows your to specify that the service runs using the local SYSTEM account or some other configurable domain user. Choose the latter option and specify a username with Administrative privileges. - Click OK to accept. - Stop and then restart the Scheduler service for your change to take effect. I'm not at an NT system now, so I can't be more clear than this. Hope it helps.

Please ensure that this account has the necessary privileges" My Informix and Administrator accounts have their Setnet32 params setted correctly. (Ilogin32 logs fine) However, during the execution of the script via AT, the variable USERNAME = SYSTEM. How setting the correct INFORMIX security environment for the user SYSTEM ? Any idea ? Thank you for your answer Jean-Brice Albertus jb.albertus@imsii.fr
