The information in this article applies to:
-
Microsoft Windows NT Server versions 3.5, 3.51, 4.0
-
Microsoft Windows NT Workstation versions 3.5, 3.51, 4.0
SYMPTOMS
When you run AT on a remote computer, it can result in an "access denied"
error.
CAUSE
This error condition occurs because you do not have the correct access
privileges. Administrative privileges are required for remote AT activity.
MORE INFORMATION
Assume a user issues an AT command on a remote computer. For example, from
computer A, UserA issues the command
<AT \\computerB 18:00 /interactive "notepad">
This has the following two results:
- ComputerA will try to establish an IPC$ connection to ComputerB, using
the account UserA. The Server Message Block (SMB) command is <C session
setup & X, and C tree connect & X, Share = \\computerB\IPC$>. UserA
must have administrative privileges, otherwise the attempt results in
an "access denied" error.
- Schedule will start up on ComputerB using the account you specified
with the Schedule service in the Services tool in Control Panel. By
default, it uses the System account.
