Scheduled Task while Logged Off

I work on a network that has no internet service. I have WSUS Offline on the server which I update on a monthly basis. All of the clients are joined to the domain and have a permanent drive mapped to the wsusoffline folder. I have a scheduled task on all of the computers which allows them to update from the WSUS Offline folder on the server. I noticed if a computer is logged off when the task is set to run, nothing happens. Is there a way to schedule Update.bat on a logged off computer? Should I be scheduling the executable with command line arguments instead? Please help the poor newbie. :mrgreen:

Hi and welcome, thatguypursue,

you have to use Update.cmd/DoUpdate.cmd directly in you scheduled tasks (see http://forums.wsusoffline.net/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=2691 for details).
You can also try Sysinternals' "PsExec" (see http://technet.microsoft.com/de-de/sysinternals/bb897553) to achieve remote triggering.
