Automating outlook when windows 2000 work station is locked

[Guest]

Prior to upgrading to Office 2003 I had an automated vb script that was able
to send auotmated emails on a scheduler even if the Windows 2000 workstation
was locked. Now that I have upgraded to Office 2003 when the desktop is
locked the emails do not send automatically until the desktop is unlocked.
Any ideas?????

That's a good question, one I don't have an answer to. But if you're running
an app that automates the Outlook Object model via the Task Scheduler, you're
in for a heap of trouble:

The Outlook Object Model is unsuitable to run in a Windows service:
