I have a batch file in Windows 7 Professional that runs RASDIAL and creates a VPN to Windows Server 2003. The batch file then maps a drive and then I do a backup routine. This batch file runs flawlessly by double clicking it.

Using Task Scheduler, the batch file executes properly except for the net use command. Here is the capture from the command window:

C:UsersMikeDesktopmixSBS Connect>rasdial mixsbs_vpn administrator password
