I have encountered the same problem with Task Scheduler at DOZENS of
client sites over the years, where tasks may run flawlessly for days
or weeks, then magically - they stop running (listing Could Not Start
for the status). I simply have to edit the task by REENTERING the
SAME password - that was there in the first place - and we're off and
running for several more days/weeks! This has been a problem in
Windows NT 4.0(sp6a) SERVERs AND XP Prof workstations. And no
surprise, since XP probably uses some of the same underlying code as
NT! I have talked with other consultants - and we've all concluded
that Microsoft's task scheduler is "unreliable at best". I would love
to find out the real cause of the problem and solve this once and for
all!!!! More info: generally a single domain exists, YES user
account associated with task ALWAYS has/had a password...
SchedLog1.txt reports: The attempt to retrieve account information
for the specified task failed; therefore, the task did not run. Either
an error occurred, or no account information existed for the task.
The specific error is: 0x8004130f: No account information could be
found in the Task Scheduler security database for the task indicated.
How does Windows lose the "account information"? I can log in as this
user without a problem!
Thanks to all,
-Mike
