Is there a way to use Microsoft Task Scheduler using -user xxx -pass yyy -blind as was the case in versions 5 and 6?
If I remove the -blind the task starts but I’m prompted for the password.
As anyone used the “Microsoft Task Scheduler” with XI R2 Desktop Intelligence?

Yes I have used XI R2 Deski report to open from a batch file having user xxx -pass yyy -blind and scheduled the same in Windows scheduler.

Hi Hyder
Just can’t get it to work with DeskI using W2k. Same bat works fine with 6.1.
Here is what I’m using in to run: C:\PROGRA~1\BUSINE~1\BUSINE~1.5\WIN32_~1\busobj.exe “D:\XI Docs\GSC NOI 2007 XI.rep” -user xxx -pass yyy -blind

try this:
“C:\PROGRA~1\BUSINE~1\BUSINE~1.5\WIN32_~1\busobj.exe” -user “xxx” -pass “yyy” “D:\XI Docs\GSC NOI 2007 XI.rep” -nologo -blind

Thanks for the reply, haider.
I tried what you suggest with no avail. Looking at theTask Manager bus.exe runs for a few seconds then dies. It simply refuses to start using -blind. Removing -blind I’m prompted with the “User Identification” screen with System, User Name and Authentication already filled out.
I wonder if other parameters are needed? I tried this on 3 different machines with the same results.
