| OK, so what you seem to be looking for is a way to pass along an "Answer
| file" that includes a password to a scheduled task. Correct? If this is
| the case, I would true be questioning security. Because a password in an
| "Answer file" is not very secure whatsoever.
|
| Wish I could have been of more help, but I guess I'll let someone else in
| the newsgroup take a crack at providing you an answer.
