RE: at - Job with Windows NT

What user does your AT job run as? Check your services to see how the scheduler service is started. If it hasn't been changed it probably runs as the system account (not administrator). You can change how the service is started or get Microsoft's newer Task Scheduler. I think it comes with IE5.0. It allows you to schedule jobs and specify what security context to run in.
