Scheduled task with a UNC path

If I type:

at mycomputer 14:00 otherserverpathbatchfile.bat

the scheduled event is entered correctly on my PC. When the event triggers, it is deleted, but does not execute and there is no evidence as to why.
I saw an article implying that the scheduler wakes up as LOCAL SYSTEM and has no network access, how do I change this?
Ultimately I want to schedule the following from within a batch file

at myserver 14:00 otherserverpathbatchfile.bat

tia,
Marty

Marty,

Try this:

at mycomputer 14:00 cmd /c "otherserverpathbatchfile.bat"

This will run the batch file in a command window and then terminate. You may also want to add a line to the BAT file for testing that dumps text to an output file (such as ECHO SUCCESS! C:out.txt), to provide confirmation of whether the batch executed or not.

When working with BAT files, I always insert PAUSE statements in the file for debugging so that I can step through the process and make sure that it is working.
