SYMPTOMS

If no users are currently logged on to Windows NT, a scheduled NTBACKUP doesn't run unless the Scheduler service is configured to "Log On As" the System Account. This may be a problem if you plan to implement user-level security on directories and files and need to allow access to shares based on a particular user account.

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Windows NT and Windows NT Advanced Server version 3.1. This problem has been corrected in Windows NT Workstation and Windows NT Server version 3.5.
