I had a similiar problem under NT4.0. The problem was that the Scheduler task normally runs as 'System Account', a user with few priviledges. What I did to solve it was go into Start->Control Panel->Services, double-click on 'Scheduler', select the radio button for 'Log on as', and set the account/password you want the scheduler to run as.

I don't remember if that changes the scheduler instance only for jobs created by that user, or if other jobs scheduled by other users will now run under that account. I treat NT/Win2K as a single user system, not a casual terminal that people can log into, so I can't say.

I fought with this when it came to sharing drives. Everything was working fine, except I couldn't access a shared network resource. Anyway, I'm imagining that Win2K has something similiar, since it's so heavily NT based.

Update: Win2K has a similiar facility. Goto Start->Control Panel->Adminstrative Tools->Services. Scroll down and double-click 'RunAs Service', and select the 'Log On' tab.
