vbscript, Setting Username and Passwords for a scheduled task in MS Task Scheduler

Setting Username and Passwords for a scheduled task in MS Task Scheduler

Author	Message
Gordon Cashmor #1 / 4	Setting Username and Passwords for a scheduled task in MS Task Scheduler We have created a task in task scheduler, however when we copy it to another machine, it assumes the user name for that machine. The user ID and Password that the task was using gets dumped. I believe this means that the registry is saving these settings, however we have been looking long and hard and can't find it. I also tried looking in dozens of libraries dll's, ocx, active X etc and have come up with squat. I was wondering anyone has ever done anything like setting the user name a password to a scheduled task programatically? If so, can you share with me how, or at least where to look it up. We need it in VB script, WSH. Thanks in Advance Gordon Cashmore

Mark_Pryo #2 / 4	Setting Username and Passwords for a scheduled task in MS Task Scheduler Hi, http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&ie=ISO-8859-1&oe=ISO-8859-1&q=msta... redentials Protected storage used in the Registry can be very thick. It is using Public Key Crypto via the CryptoAPI. Wait till you start playing with Certificate Server. As hard as you have worked to monitor what mstask is doing, you might be able to use available objects more easily, but not without some pain. hth, Mark Pryor Quote: > We have created a task in task scheduler, however when we copy it to another > machine, it assumes the user name for that machine.
