Batch file wont open AutoCAD 2019 in windows task scheduler

[Anonymous]

I have a simple .scr script that opens autoCAD then converts some DWGs (extent and direction...) then saves the new DWGS and closes autoCAD. Everything works great when I run the batch file by right clicking on the file and hitting 'run as administrator' where things don't work is when i try to have windows task scheduler run the batch file nothing happens. I've tried different variations of the opening line such as:

"C:\Program Files\Autodesk\AutoCAD 2019\acad.exe"  /product MAP /language "en-US" /b %GCI_HOME%\GIS-Exports.scr

or

"C:\Program Files\Autodesk\AutoCAD 2019\acad.exe"   /b %GCI_HOME%\GIS-Exports.scr

and AutoCAD will not open up when using windows task scheduler - I can see that AutoCAD is running but nothing happens. It's running on Windows 10, AutoCAD version 2019.

What privileges do you have set in the security options?

Here is how our admin set it up-

Must be a permissions thing. I just tested here running a task and a simple .bat file to open AutoCAD and it worked fine. Where is the batch file located on your computer?

The batch file is located on a separate drive (D:\) than the AutoCAD exe application which is on the C:\

Maybe try running it from a trusted location on your local drive?

Just tried that and still nothing happens? The only thing that is confusing me is when I run it with the task scheduler it sends the AutoCAD application to background processing- compared to when I run it by right clicking on the batch file it opens up the AutoCAD application under Apps in the Task Manager screen. Has that have anything to do with it?

Well...I tried as my own account and it worked. So there's something with the permissions with how our admin set it up.

Glad you got it sorted (Y).

Did you found how to make it run as admin (option = Run whether user is logged on or not)?

It runs fine with my account but don't with admin account.
