Anyone use the timer feature of RichCopy? I have a job that works fine when I manually start the job. However, when I schedule the job and click run, the app appears to be waiting for the scheduled time to elapse yet never fires. Interesting enough when I stop the job the copy starts.
Anyone have any experience with using RichCopy timer?

Try created a batch file with command line options. Then use windows scheduler to launch the batch.
OMBG (Bill Gates) You need to read and get security policy and the respect it has to place on a hierarchy of upstream objects and credentials. Well that's the MS answer and attitude...
The reality is if you are working with server OSs you need to understand their security & policy frameworks, and how to debug them :). If your process loses the necessary file permissions or rights (2 different things) you should ask: "Hot damn, why didn't I fix that in the config/setup". People that blast the vendor/project (or even @#@#&$! MS) are just blinding themselves to the solution/s.
In most cases this kind of issue is due to Windows' AD removing the rights of a Local administrator User to run a scheduled task. It is a common security setting in corporate networks (implemented with glee by Domain Admins to upset developers) though it is really a default setting these days. It happens because the machine updates against an upstream policy (after you've scheduled a task) and decides that all of a sudden it won't trust you to run it (even though previously it let you set it up). In a perfect world it wouldn't let you set it up in the first place, but that isn't the way policy applies in Windows... (@#@#&$! MS). LOL
Wow it only took 5 months to get an answer! (but here they are for the next person at least!)
