My problem is that they use the Windows user screen to select their log in name and go and I didn't want another username showing up on that list. The users are always changing their passwords so I can't really use their usernames in a task because it will stop working once they change their password. So for example, I would like to set up username: backupadmin with a password and either do this remotely or if I have to go to each machine, that would be fine. Backups would run at 7pm each day. Is this possible? Continue reading... Quote
