Scheduled NTBackup Must Be Configured Using System Account

 Last reviewed: May 14, 1997
Article ID: Q112218
The information in this article applies to:
  • Microsoft Windows NT operating system version 3.1
  • Microsoft Windows NT Advanced Server version 3.1

SYMPTOMS

If no users are currently logged on to Windows NT, a scheduled NTBACKUP doesn't run unless the Scheduler service is configured to "Log On As" the System Account. This may be a problem if you plan to implement user-level security on directories and files and need to allow access to shares based on a particular user account.

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Windows NT and Windows NT Advanced Server version 3.1. This problem has been corrected in Windows NT Workstation and Windows NT Server version 3.5.
