Windows 10: Task Scheduler and Robocopy

Good morning:I'm having a very odd issue with Task Scheduler and Robocopy on a Windows Server 2016 machine.I have script that uses net use to connect to a server on a different domain. I am able to get to that server and go to various folders using the provided credentials with no errors or issues. The script then calls robocopy to copy files and subdirectories to a server on our local domain. I can run this script manually with no problem. When I put it in Task Scheduler and run it from there, the log file keeps giving me this error: ERROR 1907 0x00000773 Accessing Source Directory <dire

Automate moving files with Task Scheduler and robocopy?

It worked - that made my day! Thank you so much for the teaching.

Now I want to do what Try3 suggested - to have the 'move' done only after the 'downloading' completes.

The attached screen shot shows what I did, which was simply add a second item under Actions. Is that all that's needed? I spent over an hour searching for an example to refer to and came up with zilch.
