I am trying to run a Windows 2000 backup. We currently have this command-line in a batch file and it works great. I need to run it as another user. When I try to add it to JAL code running as another user. I can't seem to get it to run. %NASName% is a environment variable that has been defined on the server as \\nasserver\backup. Are all the double quotes causing a problem?

ntbackup backup "@d:\backup\bulist.bks" /n "Friday Rotation 1" /d "Fri1" /v:no /r:no /rs:no /hc:off /m normal /j "Fri1" /l:f /f "\\%NASName%\Fri1.bkf"

Please help....

Thanks,

Mike Niccum

What's the full error message you get in the job log?

Sorry about the lack of detail...

I created the job using the template "Run program or OS command as another user"

Here is what the script looks like after pasting the batch file code into the wizard:

// run command
Dim( process_id, number )
RunAsUserAndWait( "ntbackup backup \"@d:\\backup\\bulist.bks\" /n \"Friday Rotation 1\" /d \"Fri1\" /v:no /r:no /rs:no /hc:off /m normal /j \"Fri1\" /l:f /f \"\\\\%NASName%\\Fri1.bkf\"", "", 0, "ntbackup", "xxxxxx", "domain", process_id )

Obviously I have renamed the password and domain...

original code (that works in a batch file):

ntbackup backup "@d:\backup\bulist.bks" /n "Friday Rotation 1" /d "Fri1" /v:no /r:no /rs:no /hc:off /m normal /j "Fri1" /l:f /f "\\%NASName%\Fri1.bkf"

The wizard added a lot of back slashes. I have tried removing the ones that got automatically added.

The error is:

[Template: Run program or OS command a...] execution error. Exit code: -1. An error occurred while executing automation script: Line 9: Logon failed. Return code: 1314 - A required privilege is not held by the client.

The script is executing on a Windows 2000 Server Domain Controller...The user specified has the correct permission it needs to execute the backup job and has privelages to the folder...

Please restore backslashes, they are needed by the script syntax. JAL by default uses backslash as an escape symbol for scpecial ASCII characters.

I am not sure if the %NASName% will be expanded this way... mot likely not.
To have the command processor take care of %NASName%, add in front of your command cmd /b like the following "cmd /b ntbackup backup ...."

If you already have a batch file, why don't you simply run the batch by name instead of pasting the full command?

As for the "Logon failed. Return code: 1314 - A required privilege is not held by the client". The user must have "BATCH JOB" system privilege. Don't mistake this with permissions to run a particular batch file. After you grant the required privilege you will need to restart the computer.

I re-created the job using the template. I checked, and NTBACKUP domain account has "Log on as a batch job" User Right Assignment. I still get the same error.

I have also used the domain administrator account without success...

For which user? For the user who runs the job or for the user who attempts to log on as another user?
