PGP 6.5.8 not working under NT scheduler
Hi,
I sifted through the archives but couldn't find a solution. I have
a vbscript that decrypts some PGP files. PGP was installed under the
administer account. It runs fine interactive, but not from the
scheduler. My script sets all the needed environmental variables. I
have run it with the scheduler running under system authority, I have
also tried to run it with the scheduler service running under the
Administer user id (since that was the id that installed PGP).
It still errors out, Does anyone have a solution for this?
Does anyone have this working, and if so what version PGP and what
windows OS are you running it under?
Thanks in advance!

Re: PGP 6.5.8 not working under NT scheduler
I found the answer so here it is for anyone else who has this problem.
PGP command line running in the scheduler could not find the keys (even
though PGPPATH was set to the proper path.
I had to create a pgp.cfg file that contained the lines
PUBRING=C:\WINNT\Profiles\Administrator\Applicatio n
Data\PGP\pubring.pkr
SECRING=C:\WINNT\Profiles\Administrator\Applicatio n
Data\PGP\secring.skr
to tell pgp where the keys were.
I then put the pgp.cfg file into
C:\WINNT\Profiles\Default User\Application Data\PGP\
Even though pgp was installed under Administrator, and the NT scheduler
was being run under the Administrator profile it had to be in the
default user directory.
