Can not access network location from Task Scheduler python

Question

I have some code that runs fine when I am running it logged in. However, when I run it from task scheduler it fails. It is failing on the first line that points to a network drive.

os.listdir(path)

* The code uses UNC paths
* Task scheduler is set to run if the user is logged on or not
* The task is set to run with the highest privileges 
* The run result is (0x1)
* Bat files run from task scheduler work  fine when pointing to the network location, e.g. robocopy, RD, MD
* Python run from a bat file works fine with the network drives

Does anyone know why this is happing?

Thanks,

Forest

Posting a specific error message is helpful.  There are lots of ways a Python function can fail.

Are you running the task as a different user? make sure that user has access to the location.
