Dave,

Microsoft did not send out any patches at the end or August, nor any
three weeks ago. There were patches on the second Tuesday of Aug,
which was the 9th. If you patching schedule is a little lagging, then you
may have also installed the W2k post SP4 Update Rollup at that time
even though it was release mid-July.
That v1 release of the rollup did have some issues, but I do not recall
hearing of any issue similar to your description. A v2 release was made
this Tuesday.

On my W2k systems that are fully up-to-date patch-wise I am not
experiencing issues with scheduled tasks (other than the GUI reporting
of last result status still being blank, something that happened quite
some time ago).

Have you logged in with the account that is used for the scheduled task
and run the exe ? I know you said you can run it without issue but it
was not clear that was with the scheduled account.
